Nagoya Sightseeing
Sightseeing Overview
Among the city's many temples and shrines, the Atsuta Shrine is the most important, as it contains one of the three sacred imperial treasures of Japan. There is a small museum, and the grounds offer a nice environment for an afternoon stroll.
Nagoya is also home to some excellent art museums, including Nagoya City Art Museum and Nagoya/Boston Museum of Fine Arts, which both feature Japanese and non-Japanese artworks, and the Tokugawa Art Museum, an amazing collection of more than 10,000 items of traditional Japanese art.
Much effort has been put into making the city's port attractive to visitors, and the spectacular Port Tower is worth visiting for the views it offers of the harbour. The Port of Nagoya Public Aquarium is very popular and one of Japan's finest.
For those interested in ceramics and local crafts, the Noritake Garden is worth a visit. Higashiyama Zoo, Botanical Gardens and Sky Tower offer a fun day out in a lovely park setting.
