Aichi
香嵐渓
The sparking golden shachihoko (mythical tiger-headed fish) on the roof of Nagoya Castle is one of the most famous sites in Nagoya. One popular activity in the city is a walk-and-dine to try local cuisine like Nagoya Cochin chicken and pork cutlets in miso sauce. If you want to go out and enjoy the changing faces of the seasons, we recommend the flowers of the Atsumi Peninsula and the red autumn leaves in Korankei Valley.
