I had been to Nagoya for a period of 2 months from 28th Feb 2006 to Apr 30th 2006. It was the first time I had been to a foreign nation. I never imagined Japan to be such a beautiful place. All I had heard about the advance of Japan was true and I was a part of it when I was working at Denso, Kariya. I stayed here at Freebell apartments near the nagoya eki. The construction of a big hotel was going on over there plus a subway station was also being built. Being there during sakura was one of the best times I had in my life. I really want to go there again. If someone can help me find a job or let me in as a student I would be most happy to be back here.

I visited Nagoya for a week when I was 16, and I can’t remember anything particularly spectacular about the city; but it was my very first taste of a foreign country – besides Canada. All I can say is that it’s rather different than upstate NY.

A Year at Nanzan Daigaku by emaehl

I spent a year (1989-1990) at Nanzan Daigaku studying Japanese. Nagoya is the Detroit of Japan – home to Toyota motors.

I give it a “not worth visiting” because there isn’t much to see from a touristic perspective, but I had a crazy time living here, partying with drunken college students, camping in nearby Mie Ken, hanging out in the discos in the center of town and the underground shopping mall beneath central park, browsing the CD collection at Tower Records in Parco.

When the school year was over, I lived for a couple of months in a seedy apartment in Imaike, the red-light district, while working nights as a bartender in a jazz bar called “Jungle Jap.”

Formative years!

Nagoya (名古屋市, Nagoya-shi?) is the third-largest incorporated city and the fourth most populous urban area in Japan. [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nagoya
Introduction to Nagoya by FROMMER'S November 20, 2006 Nagoya was founded as a castle town more than 390 years ago on orders of Tokugawa Ieyasu, who considered its strategic position on the Tokaido Highway useful for controlling Osaka and other points west. Today, Nagoya is Japan's fourth-largest city with a population of 2.19 million -- yet it's a place most foreigners never stop to see. True, it doesn't have the attractions of many of the nation's other cities, but it does have a castle originally built by the first Tokugawa shogun, as well as one of Japan's most important Shinto shrines. You can also stroll through an aquarium famous for its penguins and sea turtles, visit the world-famous Noritake chinaware display rooms, spend hours at an open-air architectural museum (one of my favorites in Japan), and watch cormorant fishing in summer. Nagoya, capital of Aichi Prefecture, also serves as the gateway to Takayama in the Japan Alps and Ise-Shima National Park. In 2005, the World Expo will be held just outside Nagoya. (read article)
