If you are going from Tokyo to Osaka or the other way around, you will always pass by Nagoya. Nagoya is the Chuubu region’s largest city and the capital of Aichi. It’s not as popular as big cities like Osaka and Tokyo, but it definitely has some interesting spots. If you want, you can stop here during your trip to Japan.

Nagoya’s name is from the adjective Nagoyaka, meaning peaceful. You will definitely find peace and awe in this bustling city. Nagoya is Japan’s largest port area by international trade value. Why? Because this city’s primary industry is Automotive and guess what, Toyota and its brands like Lexus has its headquarters in Nagoya. They ship through Nagoya port. You should definitely come and stop by this city!
