Watch a modern kabuki show at Nagoya Za, a renowned kabuki café in the city. A traditional form of Japanese theater, kabuki harks from the Edo days, but this performance gives it a modern edge. Watch the actors fly about the stage and cheer them on as you enjoy a show with interactive features that'll keep you thrilled, no matter what language you speak. Upgrade when you book online to include dinner at the nearby cafe NAGONOYA.
If you want to experience traditional Japanese kabuki mixed with a modern and cool style,this is the place for you! I came here a couple of times with friends and seen two different show, Everytime they knew how to surprise us,coming on the stage swinging on a rope,epic fight battles,special effects and music are pretty good and creative. They're funny and incredible actors. Even if the show it's completely in Japanese dialect it's easy to understand the story,and, if you're a foreigner,they will be really happy to see you!they may ask some questions or make you doing something easy and funny. They like to make the show interactive for customers,and that's what i loved about this kabuki. The price is 3500yen(which is cheap for kabuki)and includes also a free drink,the show might be around 1 hour and half,plus a little show outside before the start. It's an experience that you couldn't try anywhere else! ;)

You can go for walking, couples, families and friends.The aquarium was just like an amusement park. You can enjoy with anybody. Everything was so beautiful and you can enjoy the time a lot there. Stuffs were very nice and kind. Its really great to go there especially on rainy day. All Nagoya residences are proud of this aquarium for sure!! 名古屋港にある水族館です。たくさんのお魚や海の生物に出会うことができます。輝くイワシの群れや魚のトンネルなど、海の世界を体感できるように工夫を凝らして展示がしてあり、まるで水の中にいるように一日中楽しむことができます。名古屋の小中学生は、校外学習などで何度も言ったことがあり、みな大好きです。大人になってからも家族、友人、恋人と行く定番スポットです。いつ誰といっても楽しめる楽しい水族館です。かわいいバブルを出すシロイルカのベルーガもいます。ご家族で、お子様と、ご両親と、ぜひ一度来てみてください。

Arriving in Nagoya mid-morning by train from Matsumoto, I thought I would abandon my luggage in a locker at Nagoya Station and head to the Toyota Museum before checking-in to my hotel for a 2-night stay. A short hop (1-stop) on a local Meitetsu train to the nearby Sako Station and a few minutes walk down the street brings you to the main entrance. Just entering the attraction, it immediately earned 5-stars for me when I discovered that the normal Y500 entrance fee is waived for Seniors (over 65's) like myself. Audio guides are available if required for Y200, but for me the informative leaflet in English was sufficient to find my way around. I was blissfully unaware of the Textile Machinery Pavilion and Toyota's history of spinning and weaving prior to visiting and found this part of the exhibit surprisingly interesting. Like most people, I had been drawn to the Museum by the "Cars" and the Automotive Pavilion contained a reasonable cross-section of models across the decades since Toyota's first passenger car (Model AA) was produced in 1936. As well as the cars, I particularly enjoyed the Production Line Reconstructions associated with the Model AA and the exhibit where robotic arms assemble a modern car chassis (.... press the button, stand back and video the balletic performance!). Before you leave, make sure you take in a performance of a Toyota robot playing the violin in the South Lobby (see leaflet for times). It's not only the "Cars" that are the "Stars"!

This is by far the most romantic cherry blossom spot that you can find during the season. This is a university town in a quiet suburbs, you will see children and old folks enjoying the walk along the river where both sides of the banks are dotted with beautiful cherry blossoms. There’s park benches, steps, Japanese wooden bridge surrounding the area, good place to soak in the spring air and photograph the graceful flowers.

Arriving in Nagoya by train around mid-morning on a Sunday, my initial intention was to park my luggage in a locker at Nagoya Station and take in the Railway Museum before checking-in to my hotel. The Museum (in the Port area of Nagoya) is only accessible by taking the (private) Aonami Line train to the terminus station of Kinjo-Futo. Luggage parked, I made my way to the Aonami Line Transfer Gate at the far side of Nagoya Station only to be confronted by a queue of several hundred people (and crowd control measures in place), ...... simply to access the few ticket machines for the Aonami Line. I abandoned my proposed itinerary and headed off to the Toyota Museum instead. Later I was to discover that the other major attraction adjacent to Kinjo-Futo Station is Legoland; probably a very popular destination on a Sunday. The Railway Museum is open on Mondays, so the following day I headed out for v.2 of my itinerary; no queue at the ticket machines but the train about to depart was already standing room only. As a late 60-something, I didn't fancy standing for the 24-min journey, so elected to get seated the next train on the opposite platform which was due to depart 15-mins later. Although this train too was packed by departure, I was relieved to find that virtually all the passengers, on arrival at Kinjo-Futo, headed off towards Legoland. Although it was raining heavily, the Museum is an ideal destination in inclement weather as there is a covered walkway from the Station to the Museum entrance. Having toured Japanese Railway Museums in Kyoto and Kyushu on previous visits and rated them highly, the Nagoya exhibits were equally impressive. On entry, three items of rolling stock that set world speed records (C62 Steam Locomotive, 300X Shinkansen and Superconducting Maglev) are stunningly presented in near darkness. Walk through to the spacious open hall beyond and the advances in high-speed railway technology are showcased from early Electric Railcars to the latest Shinkansen. For me, the Railway Park is memorable for its' impressive array of various iterations of Shinkansen from Series 0 (1964) through to the latest Series N700 (displayed outside).

Just the effort that goes into keeping alive the look and feel of hundreds of year old lifestyle is amazing. Definitely worth spending time enjoying art and architecture of past

We arrived 1400h. There was only two tour buses. The rest were locals. So it was pretty quiet. It can get very crowded on special occasions and different season. It was a lovely walk and offering of prayers all afternoon

Nagoya Omotenashi Bushotai is comprised of 6 bushos (army generals) and 4 jingasa soldiers. The 6 bushos are; Nobunaga Oda, Hideyoshi Toyotomi, Ieyasu Tokugawa, Toshiie Maeda, Kiyomasa Kato, and Keiji Maeda. Nagoya Omotenashi Bushotai members talk and act as the “real” historical figures. They are featured in various TV shows. They also entertain visitors at the Nagoya Castle.
What a magnificent castle! Only ¥500 entry and there is so much to see. The immaculately kept Hommarugoten, where guests would be greeted on arrival, is fascinating and the grounds are also very well kept.
