Shiragawago : UNESCO World Heritage

Being the largest city in the Chubu Region, Nagoya is predominately a manufacturing and shopping hub in Honshu. With that, some would notice the lack of ample history in the area but that is mainly because most of them were destroyed in the air raid back in 1945. Nevertheless, the city still has go much to offer to its visitors with the first that comes to one’s mind: The towering presence of Nagoya Castle which becomes a cherry blossom watch point in Spring.
