The castle ground are nice, especially when the cherry blossoms are in bloom. During our visit there were a number of food vendors set up with various treats just outside the “main gate” (inside the laid area of the castle grounds). The castle itself is closed (March 2022) and it appears to be undergoing some form of internal renovation. It was a shame to visit and not know that entrance to the castle itself would be denied. Worth visiting for the low price and nice pictures.

Beautiful castle with a lot of history. Sadly the entrance into the castle is closed. I believe they might be refurbishing it. Overall great experience and look out for the ninjas roaming around the area. Perfect opportunity for photos.

Beautiful Castle, it’s under renovation and has been closed for past 5 years. But do visit Hommaru within the castle to see what it would have looked like. You are required to remove your shoes, slippers are available in the event you do not have socks. Do Not miss

I'm a fan of the game Shogun Total War, so Nagoya Castle is always one of my destinations. I enjoyed walking around the area and was lucky enough to experience the Flower show case. I will recommend anyone to spend a peaceful minimum an hour wondering around. You will find tranqulity and cozy walk there.

The Nagoya Castle is actually a museum, "disguised" as castle. Originally built in the first half of the sixteenth century and the middle of the various events of the time, it was almost completely destroyed by the American raid in 1945 and rebuilt from scratch based on drawings and plans survivors. I mean, how often are fond of the "fanboy" of Himeji Castle, Nagoya Castle is not the real castle of Nagoya. The rest just come to realize this: exits, stairs modern with lots of rails and a lift to visit all the floors. The need to completely rebuild the structure, however, has given some freedom of action to the designers who have finally decided to use as the interior spaces to show Japanese antiques or reproductions. In addition, the castle was continuously extended with new halls (in May 2011 were in the course of work on a new building). Two parts that interested me the most: the outdoor gardens, pleasant almost like those of the castle in Akashi, and the floor of the castle which was rebuilt in a Japanese city of Edo period, with lots of alternation of day and night to realize what meant to be no light at the time.

Japan is fantastic for low cost educational children's activities. Nagoya castle and palace is another great example of that. Sadly the original palace burnt down during WWII, however the replica was constructed and is stunning. Beautiful grounds and gardens and bucketloads of history. Ninjas and samurai roam the grounds too. Lots of food options outside the castle grounds. Well worth a visit even if briefly.

Massive castle with a lot of attractions to visit. Inside of the place feels like you are in different era. The walls and buildings structure preservations are really worth visiting it. There are few small parks here and there. To spend time with family and to see the old life,it is a great place.

The castle is beautiful from the outside, but it was closed when I was there, so I don't know what was inside. I went to the palace nearby, and it was fantastic. The display is just good and so well maintained.

Even though the castle keep is being rebuilt to withstand earthquakes, the reconstructed palace is worth a trip. This must be how it would have looked when it was new. Each of the many rooms and halls is more ornately decorated than the last and the attention to detail is impressive. The walk in the garden around the castle is very nice also!

The castle, palace, and grounds were much better than I originally expected. I was also surprised by how many people were there on a Sunday. My only complaint is that the castle inside isn’t open at this time to visitors. Thankfully the palace is. The palace is very similar to the interior of Nijo Castle.

Cool place to visit, you have the opportunity to enter an old Japanese building (shooed off first). Walk around the walls and see great views. We were lucky to see walking ninjas and samurai which took free photos with us. There is a small park in the castle which is worth a visit too, all sort of cool flowers and trees.

Impressive monument to Japan's age of lords and samurai. The Castle itself is still under renovation but the grounds have interesting artefacts and information to explain the layout of the castle. The reconstructed palace is beautiful but be prepared to take your shoes off. A museum for the castle has a variety of items on display but no English information - this is something that can be improved upon.

We've been here on a Sunday in January. I think because of that we had nearly no waiting time. It's a beautiful place with lots of history and rebuild with a lot of pleasure. I really recommend to go there when visiting Nagoya

When visiting Japan one must visit Nagoya, more specifically Nagoya Castle. The entrance fee is 500 Yen which you can pay by cash or credit care. The castle is an architectural masterpiece. It really shows that the Japanese people have a true sense of detail and discipline. The staff at this location is super friendly. There are concessions stands inside the walls and the food is amazingly good and super cheap! Due to earthquake damage the castle is currently closed to the public however the site can be visited.

Massive castle! So beautiful! We weren’t able to walk through the actual castle (it is currently undergoing some construction) but we did get to walk through the palace! The staff on duty were incredibly friendly and kind. The grounds around the castle are gorgeous as well. Bring your stamp book as there is a place to stamp it right next to the entrance :) there’s an ice cream shop as well with DELICIOUS soft serve!

Glorious castle and grounds. Incredible intricate centuries old architecture forming the multilayered castle. Surrounding grounds are nice and well maintained. Samurai performances are a bit gimmicky, but nice to watch. Castle itself is closed to visitors at the time of writing.

The castle is under renovation so you can't enter it so all that's left are gardens, palace and photos outside. However the gardens also seem like going through restoration since most of them are empty. The palace might be worth a quick glimpse since it has some nicely decorated doors but that's it.

Great castle grounds. Sadly, the main castle is off-limits for what I believe is repairs. Whilst it's nice to see the grandeur of the grounds besides a look at the main buildings' impressive architecture and artworks. There wasn't a lot of historical information/pieces that the Osaka castle has to offer.

The Nagoya castle and places surrounding it looks great. But the castle is closed, so we cannot see it from inside. I am not sure when it will get opened again. I asked some people; they said it is closed because of its structure became weak after earthquakes. So yes, you can visit to see the castle from outside, but you are not allowed to go inside. But there are other places to see inside the premises, like Hommaru palace, the old stones of original Nagoya etc. Please enjoy visiting this beautiful place.

The Nagoya castle was one of my favourite places un Nagoya. The castle provides a beautiful view and there is also a small traditional house nearby this castle, where it is forbidden to take photos, so you won’t find many, but it is still recommended - the overall fee for entering the area was 500Yen for adults. Unfortunately the castle couldn’t be assessed. The area is big but not huge, I needed 1 hour to walk around the castle in the garden, which was >80% of the attraction.

Amazing castle, worth the money to enter and you can borrow a rental wheelchair for free. You can enter the palace to see it's original architecture. There's a free mini photo in front of the castle by professional photographer. Also they have cosplay ninja and warlords from that period. Best castle I've been to in Japan

the main castle was unfortunately closed and there was also some construction going on. there were supposed to be a "ninja" performance going on but due to the weather conditions, they cancelled it. definitely a place that you can enjoy if the weather is good since it's mostly outdoor.

Never mentioned when buying ticket that the castle is under renovation, only can photo outside. Wasted the trip all the way there. If you plan to come, think better come when the renovation is closed completed fully.

Quite ok with small amount of Sakura trees, sadly castle is closed for renovation. One can only visit the exhibitions held in small hall which they called palace?! Basically, wall paintings and decorations are the main exhibits. By the way, there is a lane of restaurants in front of the castle entrance, I think East gate, better check. For those with a tight schedule.

A must visit the when traveling to Nagoya. Just note that the castle itself and its main yard are still closed as major parts are still being restored. Still, I would recommend visiting this so that you can see the level of art and detail that Japanese artists are taking in restoring this castle. There’s a stable that they have opened to the public and inside you’ll be able to see all the hand painted restorations that have been completed.

It was so nice to visit this amazing castle especially on this spring season. Because its being surrounded by lots of sakura trees. I also like the design of it actually cause somehow similar with the osaka castle. But i guess the only difference is that the color of the castle is like a lighter mint bluegreen shades. There are also some food stall on the side so you can get food/snacks and they also have a ninja show. It was fun actually.

One place you must go if you are staying in Nagoya. This beautiful Nagoya castle is gigantic and important place to visit to learn their culture and history. Also it’s fun to see many things, such as samurai, art, nature, many unique food and more.

Beautiful castle in Nagoya, fascinating history. Unfortunately it was cold and my feet were freezing when we toured the castle! But that’s on me for having poor circulation. Despite the rain it was pretty crowded but not terribly so. It seems that some trees were beginning to bloom so I can only imagine what it would look like in a few weeks! We toured the watchtower as well and it had quite a view.

Is not a bad place to be. You also get to go into one of the houses that kept of the nice paintings on the doors, ceiling etc. I enjoyed it because the artworks are so sophisticated and refined. You need to Q and remove your shoes. If you have big baggage, you will need to put into the locker. Don’t worry, you will get the money back. One thing to note, please be considerate and don’t talk too loud and walk too fast creating a lot of sound on the wooden floor, it will affect those that is trying to appreciate the artworks. The only disappointment was you cannot go up the castle. It was not open to public.

A fun day trip. The castle is impressive and beautifully restored. This castle also has large grounds and out buildings with interpretive signs in English and Japanese. Lots of food stalls nearby and actors dressed as period era samurai and such to interact with and take photos.

Beautiful place and the reconstruction was done very nicely! One of the best castles I’ve been too. And not much people on a Sunday. There were also in costume performers walking around happy to take pictures with the tourists.

A very beautiful traditional Japanese architecture, the castle of a warlord. It is just spectacular with the cherry blossom. Pity we couldn't go up.

There are many different castles, but the mint green of Nagoya Castle was a wonderful color. I heard that cherry blossoms are in full bloom depending on the season (March~April).There is a parking lot nearby, and there is space for two-wheeled vehicles.Street plays and other events can be seen on the central street. There are food stalls where you can have a light meal.

The place is really big, there are a lot of places to eat and drink as well so you won't get tired going around the area. Performances on the side as well which were fun to watch

You can see the amazing castle from close by, and also go walk inside the old Nagoya residence of the Shogun which had a really pretty traditional Japanese interior (no furniture though). It's surrounded by a park and a gravel field that was really spacious and the whole place was not crowded when we went on Tuesday afternoon, even though it is Chinese New year, which was nice. Small entry fee, tickets can be bought at the main gate.

Had a nice walk in the forest outside the shrine. The sacred Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi sword is housed within the premises but unfortunately the visitors are not allowed to see it.

天叢雲剣（草薙剣）が祀られている熱田神宮に伺いました。三種の神器に関して皇居と伊勢神宮は既に訪問しているので折角だから関西旅行の際にこちらにもと思いました。 何がどうなるわけではありませんが、そういった３大○○とかに弱いので３名瀑とか３名園とかについ行ってみる性格です。 しかし関東の人間には金山駅での名鉄の乗り換えは結構難しかったです。関東でいうところの品川駅での京急のような感じです。でも何とか神宮前駅に到着しました。 神宮前駅では折角なので構内の店できしめんを食べましたがとても美味しかったです。名古屋は食事が美味しいですね。 熱田神宮自体は明治神宮のような様相で厳かな雰囲気と涼し気ですが、敷地自体は明治神宮の３分の１程で２０分で周れました。 個人的には神楽殿が印象的でした。二条城を思わせるような佇まいです。都会のオアシスとして親しまれている神宮だと思いました。 草薙剣は浪漫ですが、その近くに一時滞在させていただいたことに感謝したいと思います。 (Translated by Google) I visited Atsuta Shrine, where the Ten Murakumo Sword (Kusanagi Sword) is enshrined. Regarding the Three Sacred Treasures, I have already visited the Imperial Palace and Ise Grand Shrine, so I decided to take the opportunity to visit them during my trip to the Kansai region. I don't know what will happen, but I have a weakness for those three major ○○, so I tend to follow the three famous waterfalls and the three famous gardens. However, for people from the Kanto region, it was quite difficult to transfer to the Meitetsu train at Kanayama Station. It's like the Keikyu train at Shinagawa Station in the Kanto region. However, I managed to arrive at Jingumae Station. At Jingumae Station, I took the opportunity to eat some shimen at a shop inside the station, and it was very delicious. The food in Nagoya is delicious. Atsuta Shrine itself looks like Meiji Shrine, with a solemn atmosphere and a cool atmosphere, but the grounds itself are about one-third of Meiji Shrine and I could walk around it in 20 minutes. Personally, the Kaguraden was impressive. The appearance is reminiscent of Nijo Castle. I thought it was a shrine that was popular as an oasis in the city. Kusanagi Ken is romantic, and I would like to thank you for allowing me to temporarily stay near it.

This is one of the famous must-visit here in Nagoya. This is shrine has a unique design and mang people are coming here to pray. So nice!!

Great place to go with family/ friends. It's a place with a long history. Roughly it takes around 1 hour to cover the entire area. There are few restuarants and food stalls inside the premises. Washrooms available. Enough parking spaces available. I think evening is the best time to visit here.

One of the major shrines in Nagoya. The shrines were great and the huge shrine gates were magnificent. There were several parking lots nearby but only one was open late after 5pm.

3月終わりに名古屋観光できました！ 三種の神器 草薙の剣が祀られています 織田信長が2000の兵で対する今川義元の2万5000の兵力(諸説あり)に奇襲をして打ち破ったという かの有名な桶狭間の戦いにむかう前に熱田神宮で必勝を祈願したという歴史好きにはたまらない神社です(*ˊᗜˋ*)ﾉ 自分も4月から仕事の体制が新しくなるので桶狭間にむかう気分でお参りです！ 鳥居を前にして、すでに圧倒的な存在感です 鳥居をくぐったら神聖な空気で精神が落ち着きます！ 途中で手と口を綺麗にして大きな楠を見ながら本殿に 絶対に勝ちますとお参りしました！ そしてお守りはもちろん勝守りを頂きました！ 他にも宝物庫や色んな剣が見れたりします！ 来て良かったです (Translated by Google) I was able to visit Nagoya at the end of March! Three kinds of sacred treasures The sword of Kusanagi is enshrined here. It is said that Oda Nobunaga made a surprise attack and defeated Imagawa Yoshimoto's 25,000 troops (there are various theories) with 2,000 soldiers. This shrine is irresistible for history buffs, as it is said that before heading to the famous Battle of Okehazama, people prayed for victory at Atsuta Shrine (*ˊᗜˋ*)ﾉ I'm going to have a new work system starting in April, so I'm going to visit Okehazama! Standing in front of the torii gate, it already has an overwhelming presence. Once you pass through the torii gate, the sacred atmosphere will calm your mind! On the way, I cleaned my hands and mouth and looked at the large camphor tree as I entered the main shrine. I prayed that I would definitely win! And of course I received a winning charm! You can also see a treasure trove and various swords! I'm glad you came

We came on the Saturday during Golden Week it was very busy but created a great festival atmosphere. We got lucky and there was a large parade/ceremony which seemed very important. Also visited the sword museum which was very interesting.

Good place to walk around but during the New Years this place is pack with lots of people very crowded but despite that you can still feel calm and tranquil. Love this place. Close to Atsuta Jingu Station Just one stop from Nagoya station

It is a shrine worthy visit in all seasons, although it can be very crowded even in weekdays. There are numerous old trees in the courtyard, and there is wall-posting or exhibition, on entrance worship avenue, to explain and show the history- development and change- of the Shrine. Shrine also serves as the community center for the locals, such as annual farm-product harvest competition. Similar to most of the shrines in Japan, it is free for access.

名古屋に来たので少し観光と思ってここに来ました。あいにくの雨で少し…寒かったですが 名古屋駅からアクセスが良かったのでそんなに大変な移動では、なかったです。 境内のさくらは、チラチラと咲いてました。満開の時ならきっと綺麗だと感じました。 パワースポットで有名な熱田神宮。雨の日でもそれなりに観光客がいました。 思ったより広くて本殿まで歩いてるとなんとなく…伊勢神宮っぽいなぁ、と(笑) 境内の周り方の地図を見ながら探索。 御朱印も3箇所あり頂きました。あ、ここたは、御朱印と言わず、神印帳ってなってました。 境外に2箇所あるようでしたが、雨で寒くて2箇所は、断念(笑) また、機会がありましたら境外の神印帳を頂きたいと思います。 (Translated by Google) Since I came to Nagoya, I thought I was going to do some sightseeing and came here. Unfortunately it was raining so it was a bit... cold. It was easily accessible from Nagoya Station, so it wasn't that difficult of a journey. The cherry blossoms in the precincts were in full bloom. I thought it would be beautiful when it was in full bloom. Atsuta Shrine is famous as a power spot. Even on a rainy day, there were quite a few tourists. It was bigger than I expected, and as I walked up to the main shrine, I felt like it was like Ise Grand Shrine (lol) Explore while looking at the map around the precincts. I also received three Goshuin stamps. Oh, Kokota wasn't called a goshuin, it was called a divine seal book. There seemed to be two places outside the temple grounds, but it was raining and cold so I gave up on both (lol) Also, if I have a chance, I would like to receive a divine seal book from outside the precincts.

Interesting park with rich history. Also good for a relaxing walk. I was not aware that you cannot see the divine sword as it is protected inside the shrine. Many other exhibits are available if you take your time to walk through the shrine.

平日の昼過ぎに行きました。 駐車場は空いており、無事停めることができました！ この日は曇っていましたが、鳥居をくぐった瞬間からなんか空気が綺麗な感じがして敷地の広さにもワクワクしました。 ラッキーなことに神鶏さまにも会えました。可愛かった〜 神秘的なものが多くて気持ち的にも癒されます。 御朱印は丁寧に書いてくださり、その横でおみくじやお守りが販売されています。 厄払いのお札を購入しました。 きしめんが食べれる場所や、きよめもちが購入できる場所もありました。 初めて行きましたが、これからも定期的に行きたいと思います。 (Translated by Google) I went in the afternoon on a weekday. The parking lot was empty and I was able to park safely! It was a cloudy day, but from the moment I passed through the torii gate, the air felt clean and I was excited by the size of the grounds. I was also lucky enough to meet the sacred chicken. Was cute~ There are many mystical things, and it is emotionally soothing. The goshuin stamps are carefully written, and fortune slips and amulets are sold next to them. I bought a bill to ward off evil spirits. There were places where you could eat kishimen and buy kiyome mochi. It was my first time going there, but I would like to go there regularly from now on.

A beautiful shrine, a must visit if you are in Nagoya. The grounds are large but the shrine itself was compact. I am guessing that not many tourists come here as all the signs are in Japanese only, so a translation app is recommended if you do not speak Japanese. It is worth reading about the significance of the shrine as well, and the sacred sword contained inside, which is hidden from public view. Definitely recommend if you are in Nagoya.

全国でも指折りパワースポットと知られている「熱田さん」に初参拝 無料駐車場脇の一の鳥居をくぐると空気が違うと感じながら静で長い参道を進むと立派な本殿につきます。 参拝後に手書きの御朱印を頂き 熱田さんからパワーを授かった感じになりました。 (Translated by Google) First visit to Atsuta-san, which is known as one of the best power spots in the country. Once you pass through the first torii gate next to the free parking lot, you will feel a different atmosphere as you walk along the long, quiet approach to the main shrine. After visiting the shrine, you will receive a handwritten stamp. I felt like I had received power from Mr. Atsuta.

One of the shrine that weee occupied during the Golden week. The shrine itself was inside a forest like place. Here, you can pray and observe the nature around this place. Also, no entrance fee needed to enter to this place, except for the museum. Definitely try to go to this place also during your visit to Nagoya!

愛知県で一番有名な神社といえば熱田神宮ですね。中はとても広く、自然がいっぱいで、デカい神木もあります。駐車場もありますが、近くに名鉄とJRの駅があります。名鉄の神宮前駅で降りて行くのが一番近いです。4月上旬に行きましたが、枝垂れ桜が満開でとてもキレイでした。 (Translated by Google) The most famous shrine in Aichi Prefecture is Atsuta Jingu. The inside is very spacious, full of nature, and even has a huge sacred tree. There is a parking lot, and there are Meitetsu and JR stations nearby. The closest one is to get off at Jingumae Station on the Meitetsu line. I went in early April, and the weeping cherry blossoms were in full bloom and it was very beautiful.

Shrine is located about 10 minutes away from Atsuta Jingu Station. There’s a nice path that will lead you around the shrine and will take you about 15 minutes stroll to experience the peace and serenity of the surrounding. I visited on Tuesday morning and it wasn’t crowded. A beautiful shrine worth the visit when you’re in Nagoya.

鳥居をくぐると空気が変わるような気がします。境内の厳かさや歴史ある重厚な雰囲気に背筋をピンっと伸ばして歩きたくなるような場所。身も心も清められるようなパワースポットです。 16時過ぎの訪問でしたが駐車場は満車、境内も夕方とは思えないくらい賑わっていました。あと、以前来た時に比べると外国人観光客の数が段違いですね。砂利道は水捌けが悪い所があったり汚れやすいので、あまり良い靴は履いていかない方がいいです。 (Translated by Google) It feels like the atmosphere changes when you pass through the torii gate. It is a place where you will want to stretch your spine and walk with the solemnity of the precincts and the profound historical atmosphere. It is a power spot where you can purify your body and mind. Although I visited after 4:00 pm, the parking lot was full and the temple grounds were so busy that I couldn't believe it was in the evening. Also, compared to the last time I came here, the number of foreign tourists is completely different. Gravel roads have poor drainage in places and can get dirty easily, so it's best not to wear very good shoes.

Amazing to see those century old camphor trees. It's a beautiful autiful shrine.

かなり広く立派な作りに驚きました。また非常に整備もされておりました。 参拝客用に無料の駐車場も用意されています。 厳かな感じがあるため、名古屋に来たならば名古屋城よりもこちらがおすすめだと思います。 (Translated by Google) I was surprised at how spacious and well made it was. It was also very well maintained. Free parking is also available for visitors. I think this is recommended over Nagoya Castle if you come to Nagoya because it has a solemn feel.

We came here for 初詣(first shrine visit of the year) and as expected, there’s a lot of people! So many food displays too! But there’s not much benches to sit on. There’s also 🐓 everywhere here and Japanese seemed to be interested to it by taking photos of it. I wonder why? I think it’s the best shrine to visit. Even if it’s in the city you can feel serenity because of the nature.

I assumed that Friday night was busier, but I'm wrong. Nevertheless, I enjoyed the atmosphere here because it's less hectic than other shopping areas in Japan. Make sure to get there early, because by 8 o'clock most shops were already closed. The tax-free shops are still open, and it is recommended to buy souvenirs there because the costs are lower than in other parts of Nagoya.

We went this place twicewhile we are in Nagoya, and the second time we luckily be there on Oct 14th, which was their so-called "Osu Street Performance Festival", many shops and many restaurants open, plus many talent street performance people on the street, it is one of the good Japanese shopping district you should visit to.

Wanted to go shopping and taste the international foods? You have come to the right place. Besides shopping, there are many things to do around this big shopping center. Surrounded by the main streets, and also close to the train stations with a short walk from the station. You will be happy to come to this beautiful place and make your visit more enjoyable.

Lots of great shops around this area: toys, vintage store, retro goods and a lot of street food

This is a MUST visit if you are a street market fan! Lots of clothes, bags and of course food! Definitely a place to soak in Nagoya atmosphere and rub shoulders with locals too!

U can find anything in Osu what’s u looking for 👏 Shopping- Food - Culture of Japanese. I love how they open the 2hand shop, vintage and look so cool, but the price a little bit expensive.

A very cool area, kind of like Shimokitazawa, Asakusa and Akihabara combined under a shotengai. You will find everything from vintage clothing shops to electronics to international restaurants here. There is also a famous temple and many small shrines. A must visit if you are in Nagoya.

Wide selection of shotengai in this shopping area. It's walking distance from the station but you can easily take the bus. You can use ic card on the bus. Went in the early evening and there were still lots of people around and stores were open. Lots of food options to choose from as well ascafe and coffee options. Good place for taking photos and also for soaking up a great atmosphere.

This is by far my favorite shopping arcade in Japan! I highly recommend the night for a mysterious walk throught the small side alleys and also nearby shrines. A bit scary but I like the thrill!!

Absolutely love this place, full of interesting shops and a wide variety of food from different countries too. We walked around for 2-3 hours to explore every corner of the streets.

This shopping street is mainly focused on small food stands. Most of those are focused on a single dish, but they do those dishes justice. While the most popular places have a line in front of them, do not discount other shops. The taiyaki stall had no line, but said tayaki was delicious, as was the dango there. Apart from all the different affordable and cheap dishes you can find just about anything there. Clothes, cosmetics, pet wares, basically anything. Osu Kannon Temple also hosts a flee market (probably only on weekends) with various odds and ends.

It’s a great shopping experience in this area, lot’s of bargains, discounts and lot’s of great pika pika foods.

Several food and Shopping options available. Temples/shrines are also found in and around the area.

A crowded and busy street filled with many shops and restaurants. Compared to the Endoji shopping street, this place is a lot more energetic. There are a wide variety of shops here. A good place to window shop and have a bite to eat. Definitely a place to visit when in Nagoya.

Quite large. Didn’t buy anything here. Ate a 10yen bread that costs 500yen. There are a number of 2nd shops if thrifting is your thing. Overall, ok if you’ve got a couple of house to kill.

This is probably the longest (or biggest) shopping street in Nagoya and it's a great place to visit as there are so many things to see, eat and shop. It's a short walk from Osu Kannon train station. There are many shops and eateries and surely there will be something that meet your needs and wants. Besides lifestyle products and local souvenirs, there are fashion and clothings, toys, florist, candies and sweets etc, among others here like Daiso and Seria. Also, there are second hand shops selling used fashion and the Japanese traditional costumes, the Kimono, watches, handbags etc. Prices here are generally reasonable and cheaper than elsewhere. As we were there on a Sunday, everywhere was very crowded. Besides those mentioned above, you can also visit the Osu Kannon Guanyin Temple towards the end of the street, another iconic landmark that worth a photostop! Do make sure you allocate sufficient time here!

Nestled in the heart of Nagoya, Osu Shopping District is a captivating blend of history, culture, and modernity that left me enchanted from the moment I stepped into its charming streets. Osu is a living testament to Nagoya's rich history, with traditional architecture and a nostalgic ambiance that effortlessly transports you to the Edo period. Walking through its historic lanes feels like a journey through time, offering a genuine glimpse into Japan's past. The shopping experience in Osu is nothing short of extraordinary. From traditional kimono stores to modern manga boutiques, the district caters to every taste. Each shop, whether it's an antique treasure trove or a contemporary craft haven, contributes to the diverse and unique offerings that make Osu truly special. The nearby Osu Kannon Temple adds a spiritual touch to the district, standing tall for over seven centuries. 🍜 Culinary Delights: The culinary journey in Osu is as delightful as the shopping experience. From hidden gem eateries to street food stalls, Osu offers an array of authentic Japanese flavors. My taste buds were treated to a symphony of local delicacies that made the visit all the more memorable. What sets Osu apart is its tranquil and less crowded ambiance. Unlike some commercial districts, Osu allows you to explore its treasures at your own pace. It's a haven where you can lose yourself in the charm of the surroundings without the hustle and bustle, making it a true gem in the heart of Nagoya. In conclusion, Osu Shopping District is more than just a shopping destination; it's a journey through time and culture. Whether you're a history enthusiast, a passionate shopper, or a food lover, Osu has something to offer for everyone.

Osu Shōtengai Shopping District is an absolute delight to explore. From quaint shops to bustling markets, there's something for everyone here. The vibrant atmosphere and diverse range of products make it a must-visit destination for both locals and tourists alike. Whether you're looking for souvenirs, traditional crafts, or delicious street food, you'll find it all here. The friendly vendors and welcoming ambiance add to the overall charm of the place. Don't miss out on this fantastic shopping experience when you're in town!

Love this long shopping street, full of vintage clothing, 2nd hand products and thrift items. I bought a men's waist bag for myself as a souvenir from a shop that specializes in men's bags.

It was a ok experience. If you wanna visit some place for hanging around and doing shopping maybe this is the one thus visit at night for better enjoyment

Very cool! From the production and making of fabric of sheets to the revolution of cars including hydrogen, gas, and electric vehicles... Do it miss out on the manufacturing room where car parts are heated and pressed! For technical nerds this is dope! And for those who like history more, there is enough history written on the walls. Many workers there also showcase how the machines work! Do not miss out on the showcases and explanations!

トヨタの歴史だけでなく織機の歴史、自動車製造の歴史も学べ実際に稼働してもらったり稼働する所を見ることが出来ます。 車の安全対策やトヨタの歴代の車なども見れるので行く価値は十分あると思います。 係員が詳しい解説も丁寧にしてくれるので理解しやすく入場料も大人500円と安価さらに少し歩けばノリタケの森(イオン)もあるので親子連れで行くのもオススメです。 バスや名鉄電車で行くことも出来ますし駐車場もあるので車で来る事も出来ます。 (Translated by Google) You can learn not only the history of Toyota, but also the history of looms and the history of automobile manufacturing. I think it's worth going because you can see car safety measures and Toyota's successive cars. The staff will give you detailed explanations, so it's easy to understand, and the entrance fee is 500 yen for adults. You can go by bus or Meitetsu train, and you can also come by car because there is a parking lot.

To have the opportunity to trigger a 600 tone press with my own hands? Unbelievable. The level of interaction with the plan and equipment area was amazing. I believe this level of immersion is a phenomenal learning tool for children. The staff were very professional that ranged from 20 somethings who were training to senior veterans who let our tour in English. Would be great to have deeper insight into how the banking system, government and the growth in Japanese culture assisted in the rise of the dynasty. Would like to have more exposure to other expo events as seen behind the robot display behind the entrance to the automotive area.

As a car guy, in Japan to compete at Rally Japan, it was natural to visit both the Toyota Automotive museum as well as the Toyota museum of Technology. I was worried that the museum of technology would be boring for my wife and 9 year old would be bored. Boy, was I wrong! They had a blast! It might be the highlight of our trip to Japan. You can push the button to start the manufacturing machines in operation. Huge presses and hammer forges. Assembly robots putting together a car and simulating welding it together. Plus, Toyoda made looms before they made cars so there is a huge background on their loom history. Included are demos of different types of looms old and new. Amazing!

This place was simply amazing. There were so many great things to see. And I love the transition of Toyota from the fabric industry into the automotive industry. There were a lot of interactive exhibits and also stations where the staff would do demonstrations and show us how the different machines operate. Definitely a must visit when stopping by Nagoya.

Fantastic museum for all ages! This museum will appeal to a variety of people with a variety of interests- so it is a great activity for a group or family. You could easily spend 2+ hours here. Most of the exhibits are interactive. There is also a large number of staff working in the museum who will demonstrate many of the machines and explain how they work. The staff on the floor of the museum all spoke excellent English. I’d recommend bringing your headphones for your phone. There is a guided tour you can access via a QR code in the museum that will walk you through the exhibits in English. You can also rent a head set for ¥200 according to the sign but there was no obvious place to rent them and we didn’t ask. Due to COVID they are not offering tours of the Toyota factory where they build cars- but this museum has ample enough demonstrations of building cars and the evolution of the technology that you won’t miss the factory tour. Can’t say enough great things about this museum. We’ve been to other similar factory/industrial tours in Japan and this was by far the most English friendly.

It's a great place to visit if you are interested to know the history of the Toyota company. The museum has 2 pavilions. 1st one shows the history of the Fabric industry and then the 2nd one shows the evolution of the automobile industry. Toyota cars from very early 1950s are displayed here. The museum closes at 5 pm. I visited here on a Saturday. It was not crowded.

I had no idea what to expect before I visited this museum. It covers the complete history of the Toyota corporation from the very beginning when it started out as a textile manufacturer. There are numerous working displays from both the textile portion of the company all the way up to present day automobile manufacturing. Some of the working displays are quite impressive including the automated machinery for textile manufacturing. I had only planned to spend 90 minutes here but I ended up staying for 2.5 hours because the exhibits were so extensive and interesting. Toyota has a very long history and this museum covers all of it very well.

We happened to come to Nagoya to meet a friend and she decided to go to the Toyota Museum. It was pretty cool and there always seem to be groups. Saw many tourists here as well. Guided tour in english was cool so check out times etc. Was very informative including why it's called Toyota and not the founders name Toyoda. Won't spoil it for you. Kids and adults both get to do a key chain thingy at the end which was cool just to do it.

入場料500円と大人でも比較的安価で、豊田自動紡織の時代からトヨタの自動車作りの流れ、最初の車の試作段階の歴史や車の工場の流れなども見れて面白いのかな?? と思います。 また希少なLFAや2000GTのEV仕様の実車なども見れて楽しめました。 (Translated by Google) The entrance fee is 500 yen, which is relatively cheap even for adults, and I thought it would be interesting to see the flow of Toyota's automobile manufacturing from the Toyota Boshoku era, the history of the prototype stage of the first car, and the flow of the car factory. Masu. I also enjoyed seeing the rare LFA and 2000GT EV specs.

I was looking for a less crowded place to explore in Nagoya, and that's when I stumbled upon this amazing spot. The admission fee of 500 yen wasn't too expensive, and the experience inside was absolutely incredible. The place showcases the fascinating origins of Toyota, which began with textile machinery. As a result, there are numerous exhibits featuring various machines, and they even offer demonstrations. The staff members were extremely friendly and helpful. However, what really left a lasting impression was the automobile section. They had a remarkable display featuring cars from different generations, accompanied by explanations about the manufacturing process. I was thrilled to discover that they provided explanations in English, and the pamphlets were available in multiple languages as well. The robot playing the violin was the most impressive thing for me.

Good museum. It is a good learning journey for children. There is English guided tour too, check with information counter assistant who is very friendly and helpful. Remember to bring a booklet for collection of stamps too or there is leaflet for you to stamp and bring home. The techno park required booking. We have spent the whole day and wishing that we would have another hour.

An interesting museum on the history of the Toyoda/Toyota company. I was not aware of their textile past and innovation with loom machines before they got into the automotive industry. There are demonstrations of the looms and automotive manufacturing equipment by the staff of a regular basis. Rather concerning was the fact that the staff were not wearing any ear protection for the very loud equipment which they are around all day. Big display of Toyota cars from 1920s to today. You have to be really into engineering and cars to get the true value out of this museum.

A weekend well spent. Toyota textile and automotive museum. They have detailed demonstrations both in Japanese and English. But they may not be able to answer your questions in English. Recommended to anyone interested in engineering.

Entry fee is 500¥ per adult. Expect the full exhibition to take 2 hours, as there is a lot to see. If you’re interested in Toyota as a company and want to know its origins, this is definitely a place for you. Car enthusiasts, there are a few great cars in here, however there is another museum (Toyota Automobile) that could cater for your desires more.

A must-go for any engineering enthusiast. Look at the history of Toyota starting from its roots in fabric manufacturing, with live demonstrations of cotton weaving and improvements in machinery. The staff are able to converse and explain the exhibits in English as well. The history of Toyota as well as its founder is extremely interesting. For those who are not interested in history, looking at the familiar car models and advance modern manufacturing techniques can also be intriguing. There is something to do for all age groups here.

2023年7月29日訪問、名鉄栄生駅から10分弱歩いて正面入口に到着、券売機で入場券大人500円購入してまずは織機の所から見学しましょう。 入口の前に環状織機が鎮座しています、1日4回説明付きで稼働させるので出来れば見たほうがいいと思います、チケットは再入場可能です。織機館は床に推奨ルートを通ればだいたい4〜50分寄り道すれば1時間半くらいかかります。 その後自動車館へ一回出る形になるので休憩取っても良いかも。試作工場から2階に上がってまた1階に降りる形になりますが自由に回っても軽く1時間からクルマが好きな人は1日中居ても飽きないはず、子供向けのテクノランドも有るので親子4人で2~3千円で涼しい所で1日潰せるので家族連れで出かけるのにはオススメやね。ここは企業博物館の枠超えてるな。 (Translated by Google) Visited on July 29, 2023, walk less than 10 minutes from Meitetsu Sakae Station to the main entrance, buy an adult ticket for 500 yen at the ticket vending machine, and let's start with the loom. A circular loom sits in front of the entrance, and it operates four times a day with explanations, so I think you should see it if possible. Tickets can be re-entered. If you go through the recommended route to the floor, it will take about 4 to 50 minutes to get to the Loom Museum, and it will take about an hour and a half. After that, it will be in the form of going to the automobile museum once, so it may be good to take a break. You will go up to the 2nd floor from the prototype factory and go down to the 1st floor again, but even if you go around freely, it will take about an hour. It costs 2,000 to 3,000 yen for 4 parents and children to spend a whole day in a cool place, so it's recommended for families. This is more than just a corporate museum.

From vintage classics to futuristic prototypes, it showcases Toyota's remarkable evolution. The interactive exhibits and knowledgeable staff enhance the experience. While some signage is in Japanese, it's a must-visit for car enthusiasts and history buffs alike

This is an excellent museum, with half devoted to the Toyota textile manufacturing plant, half to their automotive company. Tons of live demonstrations and scheduled (free) tours in English and Japanese. You could spend hours here. But the craziest part is that admission is only ¥500–that hit my credit card statement as $3.36 USD. This is easily a $25 museum in the US.

I can absolutely recommend this museum to everyone who want to know more „everything“ about Toyota. There are very good demo versions of production lines from now and then, which makes the museum really visual and interesting. After visiting many museums in Germany from BMW, Mercedes, … this one was by far the best one! It takes around 2 to 3 hours to see the most important things here.

Nice experience and history. Went towards the end of the day, but there was still enough time to see majority of the places. The gift store has some nice things, but nothing too amazing. They did have a nice spanner designed cutlery.

My visit to the Toyota Commemorative Museum of Industry and Technology was absolutely fascinating! The museum showcases Toyota's rich history and innovative spirit in an engaging and informative manner. From the exhibits detailing the evolution of Toyota's manufacturing processes to the interactive displays demonstrating cutting-edge technology, every aspect of the museum captivated my interest. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable, enhancing the overall experience. Whether you're a car enthusiast or simply curious about industrial advancements, this museum is a must-visit!

A must visit in Nagoya if you're even slightly interested in Toyota, automobiles, fabrics or manufacturing. Large, informative, interactive exhibits covering the history of Toyota, weaving and automobile technology in Japan. The children's exhibits (about 10% of the museum) are also well done.

This is an incredible museum. If you’re a technology fun or an history enthusiast, this is an absolute must. It has two sections, one for the weaving history of Toyoda (the original name) and the other for the automotive history. Both are absolutely fascinating. Many live demonstrations and working machines. We spent there 3 hours and wish we add more time.

Very nice museum showing history and growth of Toyota company and their struggle during tough times. The elaboration of weaving machines is great and opens another chapter in the mind about Toyota. Their family story is full of innovation and overcoming challenges… really inspiring. Note: if you love cars and machines then please reach early to the museum, it is at walking station from Sako station and it is where the Toyota story begins.

This museum was a real joy. I’m not a car guy but really enjoyed the fabric machines. Lots of guides showing fabric production from the spinning wheel to ultra modern fabric machines. It’s huge, showing looms from the late 1800s to today, and almost all of them work. The second part of the museum is for cars and it had a good mix of history and metal working machines and robots. If you like how things work, you will love this museum, you can get a combo ticket for this and the Noritake crafts house for ¥800.

5 stars is not enough! Cannot speak highly enough of this museum. Really well set out, brilliant displays (some of which are automated), I could spend days in there and not see everything. Will definitely be back when in Japan next.

This museum showcases Toyota's history and their aspirations for the future, starting with an entire section dedicated to the fabric looms and metal work and the other section on automotive technology. Very family-friendly and interactive. Surprised to see so many staff on the floor providing demonstrations and explanations. Many of the machines on display are actually functional and can be triggered with the press of a button.

This has to be one of the most amazing museums I’ve ever been to. There were guides who spoke English at many machines to give specialized demos and answer questions, and the exhibits themselves were fascinating and updated! They had full-size, working, industrial machines which had just been developed THIS YEAR! That’s a lot of $ to put into a museum exhibit, and then to have someone operate it for you was SOOO COOL. Anyone interested in science or technology should absolutely visit this museum.

Loved it! Super interesting to see all the machines - most of them in working condition. There were staff that also demonstrated how a lot of things worked, most in english as well! (Although very hard to understand, you could still follow along ok). The audio guide was helpful - you can rent for 200, or download on your phone for free.

Fantastic museum for Toyota fans and any Automobile fans. We learnt a lot about Toyota history and there were a lot of interesting things to see. Staff were fantastic and explained a lot of equipment in the exhibition. There was an interactive play area for children, booking is required and each booking is only for 30minutes.

Great muesuem. Half of it was about the start of toyota and the evolution of fabric weaving/machining. The other half was about the advancement in cars, their safety, and their production. The demonstrations were interactive and great for people of all ages. It's worth stopping by if you're in Nagoya.

Great aquarium. I do have mixed feelings with animals in captivity but I did want my children to see different marine life. Recommended for families. Not sure why couples were there. I presume a date. An aquarium date is only on the TV.

Entrance fee of ¥2030. If you’re looking for food, there’s a food court in a nearby jetty in between the aquarium and train station. The dolphin show is definitely worth seeing and I don’t think anyone got wet even in the splash zone. The orca training was a little disappointing but it could be that the orca was having a bad day. 🐬 Definitely worth a visit if you’re in Nagoya.

2023年8月20日(日)晴天 小学6年息子と二人で行きました。 朝7時半出発(静岡県)新東名で行き 10時ちょいすぎに到着、駐車場も以外とスムーズに駐車でき、入場券はネット購入してあったので 当日並ぶ事なく入場。 まずはお魚展示の南館へ。 キラキラ鰯の群れに圧倒され、 ブルーのアクアリウムに、カラフルな珊瑚礁に群がるお魚たちやエイに癒され、ダイバーさんが手を振ってくれたり一緒に写真撮影、わちゃわちゃペンギンさんや、優雅に泳ぐ亀さんなどなど、あっという間に3時間も楽しんでました🐢🐟 ランチは館内のレストランで。混んでたけど、運良くすんなりと席が空きラッキー。きしめん美味しかった。 その後北館へ。タイミング良くシャチの公開トレーニング、1時間後イルカのショーを。 4列目の水しぶきが少々かかる席で観覧。 国内の水族館で2頭しかいないシャチの迫力あるジャンプや尾びれを使って海面を叩き水しぶきをあげるショー(トレーニングとうたっているけど)に圧巻！ そしてイルカさん達のジャンプ力とスピードにすご〜いしか言葉にならないw また大画面でリプライ。 また待っている間も映像が流れたり、観客席を映し出して盛り上げたりと飽きさせない工夫をしてます。 とっても暑い日でしたが、海風が心地よく待ち時間含めて外で2時間半くらい？苦ではなくいられました。 夏休み&週末とあって館内とっても混んでましたが、混んでて不快という事はなく、子供もめちゃくちゃ楽しんでとてもいい思い出となりました。 最後に… ゴミ問題、温暖化問題に触れてるコーナーもあって、しっかり子供と読んで考えさせられました。 今後の未来の為大事な事なので、前面に出して目立つ方が良いかな？と思いました。 (Translated by Google) Sunday, August 20, 2023 Sunny I went there with my 6th grade son. Depart at 7:30 in the morning (Shizuoka Prefecture) on the Shin-Tomei Expressway I arrived a little after 10 o'clock, and I was able to park smoothly in the parking lot, and I had purchased the admission ticket online. Enter without queuing on the day. First, go to the south building of the fish display. Overwhelmed by a school of glittering sardines, In the blue aquarium, you will be healed by the fish and rays that gather around the colorful coral reefs. I had fun for 3 hours in between🐢🐟 Lunch will be served at the on-site restaurant. It was crowded, but luckily I was lucky enough to have a free seat. Kishimen was delicious. Then go to the North Building. Well-timed public training for killer whales, dolphin show an hour later. View from a seat in the 4th row where you can get a little splash of water. There are only two killer whales in domestic aquariums, and the powerful jump and the show of using their tail fins to hit the surface of the sea and splash water (although it is called training) is a masterpiece! And the dolphins' jumping power and speed are amazing ~ I can't say anything w Reply on the big screen again. Also, while you are waiting, you will not get bored, such as showing a video or showing the audience seats to make it exciting. It was a very hot day, but the sea breeze was comfortable, and it took about two and a half hours outside, including the waiting time. It didn't hurt. It was very crowded during the summer holidays and weekends, but it wasn't that crowded and uncomfortable, and the children had a lot of fun and it was a very good memory. lastly… There is also a corner that touches on the problem of garbage and global warming, and I was able to read it with my child and think about it. It's important for the future, so maybe it's better to put it out front and stand out? I thought.

Visited on a Thursday morning in March. There was a crowd and thus were required to queue up for around 20 minutes to purchase the entrance tickets. The aquarium was nice, where we are able to watch 15 minutes of live dolphin and orca training at 11am and 12pm, respectively. The performances were definitely the highlight of the aquarium. The other exhibits were just fine, and there are better aquariums for that elsewhere. Definitely advise to go to the port area earlier and spend some time in the port area before visiting the aquarium

It was a huge place with an enormous area for dolphin and orca shows. It has two buildings -- North and South. It was my first time seeing a large killer whale in Japan. But there were too many people. It was awfully crowded; it was hard for me to see the aquarium or even just to get out from the premise. The restaurants were full, and there were literally no seats available to sit and relax.

We spent a good 3 hours there, it was so much fun. There were lots of people on a Sunday but the aquarium was quite big so there wasn't a problem. I like that there are seats everywhere so u can just sit and watch.

初めて名古屋港水族館に行ってきました。 友達の誘いで行くことになったのですが、 行ってみるとシャチがいて初めて見ましたが迫力がすごかったです。 特にイルカは可愛かったです。 イルカショーやシャチショーもあったみたいですが時間的にみることができませんでした😭 めちゃくちゃ広いというわけではありませんがここでしか見れないのとかもいたりすごい楽しめました。 クラゲが好きなのでクラゲがたくさんいたのもすごくポイント高いです！ 某ディズニー映画みたいな魚もいました イルカショーやシャチショーを見れなかったのでまた行ってみたいと思います。 (Translated by Google) I went to Nagoya Port Aquarium for the first time. I decided to go with my friend's invitation, When I went there, I saw killer whales for the first time, but the power was amazing. The dolphins were especially cute. It seems that there was also a dolphin show and a killer whale show, but I couldn't see it due to time 😭 It's not that it's huge, but it's something that can only be seen here, so I really enjoyed it. I like jellyfish, so the fact that there were a lot of jellyfish was also a great point! There was also a fish like a certain Disney movie I couldn't see the dolphin show and killer whale show, so I would like to go again.

It is one of the most famous aquariums in Japan. The whole place is so large that it would be difficult to see it all in one day. Beluga is valuable because there are few other facilities where you can see it. Other exhibits include penguins, turtles, Antarctic creatures, and a school of horse mackerels, all of which are displayed in an easy-to-understand manner according to their themes. The stage where the dolphins put on their show is very large and has a huge screen on which you can see the dolphins' expressions clearly. Infection control measures are taken. Tickets can be bought online, so there is no need to stand in line. Have fun!

Breath-taking place 🌸 so much to see! Make sure to know the schedule so you know where to go at what time so you don’t miss something you’d like to see 🩷 Beluga training was the best in my eyes 😊 you can get really close to them and they’re so cute! Dolphins training was also very good, didn’t see them as close as belugas but still pretty good view 🪽 The killer whales training view wasn’t that good, kinda far from us, but it wasn’t such a big deal to us. There are also huuge turtles and many penguins + a lot of other animals. 🪷

The orca and dolphine show were the best!! You can have some food and beers while watching the show! And oh don't sit near the stage or else the orcas will slap you with water🤣🤣🤣 that's what happened to me. Thank u orca🤣

So many displays of aquatic animals. The dolphin show was very awesome, so cool! No wait when we entered after lunch. I wish we spent more time here.

It's this one place in Nagoya where u cannot miss out on. The vibe and the experience at this place is just unmatched. It has such a wide variety of marine life. The Dolphins & sharks are the show steller 😍😍 Along with this the Dolphin performance is a must watch here. The place is on the port so it offers an amazing view too.

以前訪問しました。 かなり広い館内にたくさんの種類の魚、骨や歴史、解説なども多くとても楽しめます。 イルカやシャチのショー、その他にもたくさんの演目があり一日中楽しめます。 お近くに行かれる際は是非朝から行かれてください。見るところがたくさんあります。 (Translated by Google) I visited before. There are many kinds of fish, bones, history, explanations, etc. in a fairly large hall, so you can really enjoy it. There are dolphin and killer whale shows, and many other performances to keep you entertained all day long. If you are in the area, please come early in the morning. There's a lot to see.

The dolphins show is amazing and the orca training is fun to watch. Spent a lot of time looking at beluga whales, they are so cute and well trained. You can tell the animals have a great bonding with the trainers. Recommend to save some time to watch the shows and find out the beluga feeding time. They are super cute.

Wonderful and beautiful place. Highly recommended and I visit every time I get the chance. Go early to ensure you can get parking if you're driving. Going early also would ensure that you will not be waiting in line for a very long time. Which is the only negative. It gets super busy! Lots of people, so go early to enjoy the exhibits before it gets too crowded. The dolphins show is also a must see! There are also restaurants located inside. Nothing fancy but it has a good selection of everything!

A place for kids to learn about the sea and its secrets!! Make sure to attend the dolphin show, it has specific timings so make sure u check the timings. It's a 10min show but it's fun to attend. The rest of the aquarium is fun in terms of the way they explain the aquatic animals. It has a huge orca, dolphins, jelly fishes, penguins and many other microorganisms. I would not suggest taking the tour which includes the observatory deck , but it's just my thought.

I went there during weekends, it was not too crowded so I could get a good view of the animals. The dolphin show was amazing, it’s a must-watch! You can also get a mesmerizing sea view outside of the aquarium.

Dolphin and Orca shows were fun but less thrilling compare to US show.However their collection of fish, penguins and turtles/tortoise are better compare to other aquariums I have seen. There is a mini mall with food court next building l, prices are reasonable.Best is,their place is really near train station. They also have several parking spaces if you bring your car.

What a lovely way to draw the crowd to the port with an aquarium & a nearby amusement park. Spent a great afternoon with the dolphins, penguins and many other marine creatures featured due to the climatic adversities. Very educational indeed.

We chose this aquarium instead of the one near legoland and it doesn’t disappoint. Its orca and dolphins show is great and entertaining. These intelligent mammals are a sight to behold despite being in captivity. There isn’t many other sea creatures to admire like many else aquariums we been to but we are satisfied with this. Being next to the sea is so refreshing too.

Great aquarium with an amazing stadium for shows. We watched the dolphin show there and it's fun and the bonus was that eating was allowed there as well, which made the show more entertaining. The snacks they sold near the stadium were surprisingly delicious. We loved the sweet cream pretzel! The jelly fish, penguin feeding, and the tropical marine area were must see as well. We went on a day where many preschoolers were there. Was afraid it would be too crowded, but it turned out to be fine and it was cute to see the little kids enjoying themselves!

One of the best landmark in Nagoya. Easy to visit here, subway station with walking about 15 minutes. Advanced tickets is a little bit cheaper and very fast when arrived here. Easy to enter with e-mail barcode ticket. Hightlight here was two Killer whales (Orca) show. Just a few aquariums in the world that can feed and train Orca. Here is the only one in Asia to watch Orca show. Dolphin show was also very impressive. My daughter was very excited to watch lively dolphins and orcas. This is my first time that meet the Orca in aquarium, they were very huge than I thought. The another building had many kinds of rare marine animals, including Ronan (shark mixed ray), reef shark, turtles, garden eels, school of mackerels, jellyfish glowing, antarctica penguins, anglerfish skeletons. The biggest tank was not big like in Osaka aquarium (Kaiyukan) but it made me impressed. This place was easy to walk, not too large to visit in every area. It had many shows, I found the schedules online, so I go for watch them in time. Highly recommend for family with curious children. Must see Orca and dolphin shows. It also had Belluga whale feeding show.

The Nagoya Aquarium has around 500 species of marine creatures and a collection of 50,000 organisms. The Shows are presented in the 60m long, 30m wide and 12m deep pool. And each show is simultaneously shown on a high-definition screen in front of the stands. https://japanguide.live/nagoya-aquarium/

Surprised that I liked it. Rushed there the moment we reached Nagoya. Got in at 3.50pm, 10 mins before the final entry. Got to see the trainers working with the dolphins, belugas and killer whale. Struck by how the animals and their human trainers seem to share a real bond of affection. Not keen to see these wonderful creatures captive. But it's a consolation to think that there are people who seem to genuinely care for them.

Good exotic marine aquarium. It's really exhaustive towards the end, lots to see. The Dolphin show is amazing. Well maintained.

Pretty awesome place to pay a visit with family! Cool playground for kids. My boy loves the 電車 and 新幹線 so much! There is a restaurant you can buy お弁当, and you can enjoy your meal outside in a real 新幹線 train.

This is the BEST museum I’ve ever been to🔥 At first glance you think it’s a normal museum but then you explore it closely and it is just amazing🤩 They have so many hands on simulators and experiences that clearly show how the Railway in japan works👌 It’s a great place to bring your kids along I’m sure they will love it❤️ You can see the trains from inside how they are and how they were in the past…. What all changes they have been through and so much more😁 Must visit at least once👍

It's a great place to visit with family and friends. If you like to know the history of japanese trains, you must come here. The price for adults is 1000 JPY. There are some restuarants/ souvenir shop inside the premises. I specially liked the Shinkansen history and the evolution of the trains. There are also places for kids to enjoy like making model trains/tracks. They allow to visit the inside of some of the trains. Great museum 5/5

The best way to spend a rainy day is by visiting museums. This museum definitely could not be missed during my stay in Nagoya. I like trains, so this could not be missed, especially if you travel around by bullet train through Japan. The museum is quite far from the city center, so a 20 minute train trip is required to get here. If you're lucky, you can sit in one of the trains with the Lego interior, cause the Lego museum is around the corner. There is a movie being played in the entrance hall of the museum, where three trains are positioned. In the main hall you will find a big collection of trains, from old to new. I liked the part where the current technology is shown for the Shinkansen trains, like the pantograph and upper power line. Some special trains which are used in the past are in the back of the hall. There is a big miniature train world as well, and please take your time here. At some point the room gets dark and represents the night. Everything is being led up and looks amazing. You can spend at least 2 to 3 hours in here.

Good amount of information, with interactive exhibits to explain the technologies and systems. Unfortunately, only very basic information is translated into English, the rest are in Japanese. Best part, in my opinion, is their famed Diorama, featuring detailed models of 4 major train stations and train sets through the years. The trains run automatically and the tracks and lights switch accordingly to regulate train traffic. Some models are also animated to show the different activities from day to night, like a bus running around the roads and avoiding parked vehicles, an ambulance and fire engine attending to a fire, a ferry sailing in the harbor, a moving merry go round.

Given Japan's extraordinary train system and network, this attraction could be better presented, and more thorough. Whilst there are many displays, explanations are quite often shallow, and incomplete. Even as a speaker of Japanese, I was left with many questions after reading the displays. The English explanations were birding on scarce. Also disappointing was the inability to get a booking on the Shinkansen simulator. I arrived very early, and found that it was already booked out until late afternoon. This needs to be better managed. Having said that, this is still a worthwhile place to visit - I just suggest that you come prepared for an exhibition which doesn't reach the usually high Japanese standards.

A must visit museum when you visit Nagoya Japan. All train from Japan’s history are displayed here. Showing the evolution of the train before till now. Have lots of interactive attractions for all to learn, enjoy and have fun. Wether you’re kid or an adult you will surely be amazed with what you see and experience in the museum. The have a good food station to have your lunch or snack to get you going on your tour. The place is quite big and have lot to read and explore.

SCMaglev Railway Park in Nagoya is a great place to learn about the latest maglev technology and get close to many high-speed trains, including the very first Shinkansen from 1964. Great to see so much pride for Japanese technology at SCMAGLEV and Railway Park in Nagoya. It is an excellent place to visit, not just for the Shinkansen history and maglev future but has so many old rolling stock from years past that you can get up close and enjoy what it must have been like to travel in.

Nice place to visit if you are interested in the history of railroad and Shinkansen in Japan. The early years of train station, research and development of the bullet train are well documented inside the museum. There is also place where children can play inside,a canteen inside to those who want to eat snacks and lunch and souvenir shop for your memorable visit in the park.

If you love trains like me, you will spend a happy afternoon here. An easy day trip using the Rail-pass from Kyoto, its an easy switch to the local train. If you are on a budget, buy your lunch at the convenience store at the station as there are free tables to eat at the museum. I used the museum cafe and it was a little pricey, but lots of fun.

We did not plan on going here until last minute, especially since we saw it was right next to Legoland (5 minute walk from the Legoland Hotel). Kids were dreading another museum and they lived this one. Many interactive things for kids to do, I wish I had alotted more time to this as they had fun going through all the trains and pressing all the buttons to see how different parts of the trains work. There are some parts where you pay extra like the train simulator and bullet train simulator. Like many museums in Japan, they also have papers for kids to go find stamps located throughout the museum. If you are remotely into trains or have kids, this may be a place to add to your itinerary. We spent about an hour here but kind of rushed it and could have spent more time here.

American family visit. Great railway museum with many exhibits and interactive displays. You have the ability to enter many of the train cars to see what they look like. They also have a huge train diorama that has a show about every 15-20 minutes which was a lot of fun. For an additional fee you can also play the train simulators. Many of the signs, displays, and videos have English which is a huge plus in enjoying the museum of you don't read Japanese. There is a cafe onsite as well as a young child play area. The food was good and was about 4300 yen for my three person family. Need about 3 hours for a semi-decent run through, longer to really take it all in.

Came in with high expectations after visiting the Kyoto railway museum a year ago and while I can't say it's disappointing as the train displays are definitely amazing, the content and context are both lacking. JR Central Japan has positioned the space as a place to "display" technologies with the maglev as the centerpiece, and hence there is not much about the most profitable/critical section of Japan's bullet train. It is also disappointing in a sense that the most financially viable JR operator in all of Japan is spending so little on its showcase. The forward looking mindset doesn't serve a museum space very well, as now we know the maglev train project is very much in limbo with Shizuoka reluctant to green-light the construction. Perhaps it's time to rethink the space and consider an expansion to incorporate more substantial materials rather than kids' playroom.

Brought me back to my childhood years playing with LIMA trains.... This is an amazing place for kids and the family. We were treated to a drum performance by youth and kids, too, as it was the weekend. It's super convenient to visit as it's a point to point train from nagoya Station, the end point, which is just outside the museum.

Very nice place for people who love trains and technology in general. A couple of hours is enough to explore every corner of the museum. Has a wide range of interactive media that explain the Japanese train history and its development, I was personally intrigued by the train diorama they had. Very informative for kids too! Thanks for the wonderful place!

Amazing place! Very informative exhibition of Shinkansen technology, and also cool Maglev train simulation. Also there is very big diorama, I think it’s the biggest and the most marvelous I have ever seen. It animates every 30min and very interesting stuff is happening in every place of it. I was very content after my visit here :)

Very very cool railway museum! The train display (multiple of them!) are super impressive! You could walk into most/all of the retired train cars in the display room and really see its revolution! My 5yr old son is a big (little) train fan, and he had SO MUCH fun exploring (and playing a bit of hide and seek too) among the train cars! They have both 2 different kinds of train simulators for you to experience how driving a train is like: normal train for 100 yen (8-10 min), and Shinkansen simulator for 500 yen (~15 min, first come first served and you need to reserve for a specific time). Both were fun and recommended! We also really enjoyed the interactive exhibits on both first and second floor where you could learn about different parts and mechanics of the trains (mostly Japanese though). There is also a ticket machine where you could input and print out your own unique named tickets! Great free souvenir. They are a proper gift shop at the exit of the museum where you can find all kinds of cool and cute train/Shinkansen souvenirs as well! Surprised and super neat gem place for anyone visiting Nagoya!

Great railway museum, very popular with families. Exhibitions are primarily in Japanese but with highlights in English. It would be great if there were more information published in English for tourists. The diorama is lovely but there are definitely better ones in Europe.

A must visit for railfans! I love the rolling stock display, with some of them you can even enter and take pictures in. Ever wondered what trains looked like in the old days, before modern subways and bullet trains? What I love especially is that the museum caters to non-Japanese speaking visitors with English guides all around the place. Don’t miss the Delica Station on the second floor, for some train bento served in actual, plastic train containers you can take back home. Lunch and souvenir in one.

It was an eye opener for me and family here. The musuem offered a lot of knowledge how the shinkansen and trains started. Recommended. The souvenir shop had a lot of nice souvenirs as well.

Right beside a train station, and cheap parking close by. Great for kids of all ages! Good size museum you and your family can spend a full day. Great lunch options as you can try many different train lunchboxes, be sure to show up early for the best selection。。。♡

We had a blast at the fantastic railway park, with our kids delighting in the various trains 🚆 and hands-on experiences with train components. However, parking poses a significant challenge since the park lacks a designated parking area.
