A bit like Tokyo with a dash of Osaka.
Nagoya, Japan's fourth-largest city, isn't a traditional tourist destination, but it has a number of worthwhile sights, some good restaurants and places to shop. In spirit, this major industrial centre, the capital of Aichi-ken, feels like a scaled-down, less breakneck-paced Tokyo.

The English-language signs dotted throughout the city make it easy to get around. Some of the most interesting restaurants, shops and nightspots can be found in the Sakae entertainment district. Nagoya is also a convenient hub for day trips in central Honshū.
