Introducing Nagoya
Japan’s fourth-largest city, Nagoya is an industrial powerhouse; it’s also the birthplace of pachinko (Japanese pinball). None of this marks Nagoya as a top-rank tourist destination, but it offers a worthy castle, museum and gardens, fine foods, and plenty of urban amusement, on a far more relaxed scale than Tokyo.
