A
Night view >From Nagoya
The most spectacular scenery in
Nagoya
has to be that seen by night. The dazzling neon of Sakae,
Nagoya Castle lit up by night at the recently completed Port
Triton three connecting bridges of the future Tokyo bound
express way stretching over the harbor are a must.
Nagoya
has a wealth of surprising entertainment venues and
attractions. From the traditional sport of sumo wrestling to
Japans own Formula 1 race track, from the dramatic Noh theater
to fascinating ninja. Then take a break from all the
excitement and soak in a hot spring overlooking the ocean, or
be mesmerized by the twinkle of lights from one of many
observatories around the city.
Nagoya
Dome
The massive
structure of the Nagoya Dome is the home ground for the Chunichi
Dragons baseball team. Whether it be
a sport, concert or other event, the dome is a major
entertainment venue in the area.
