Transcriptions Romanization Nagoya

Nagoya (名古屋市, Nagoya-shi, [naꜜɡoja]) is a big city in the Chūbu region of Japan. It is the fourth-largest city in Japan by population. About 2.3 million people lived there in 2020. Nagoya is also the main city of the Chūkyō metropolitan area. This area is the third-largest in Japan, with over 10 million people.

Nagoya is on the Pacific coast in the middle of Honshu, Japan's largest island. It is the capital city of Aichi Prefecture. The Port of Nagoya is the biggest seaport in Japan.

In 1610, a powerful leader named Tokugawa Ieyasu moved the capital of Owari Province to Nagoya. This is when Nagoya Castle was rebuilt. In the 1900s, Nagoya grew very fast. It became a major industrial center for Japan. Factories made things like watches, bikes, and sewing machines. Later, they started making special steels, ceramics, and chemicals. The car, airplane, and shipbuilding industries also grew a lot.

Because of its factories, Nagoya was bombed during World War II. After the war, Nagoya's economy became more diverse. But it is still a very important place for industry and transportation in Japan. High-speed trains connect it to Tokyo, Kyoto, and Osaka. Many big companies have their main offices here, like Brother Industries, Ibanez, Lexus, and Toyota Tsusho. Nagoya also has important schools like Nagoya University.

Famous places in Nagoya include Atsuta Shrine, Higashiyama Zoo and Botanical Gardens, and Nagoya Castle. The city will host the 2026 Asian Games. This will be the third time a Japanese city hosts these games.

Nagoya's Geography and Divisions

Where is Nagoya Located?

Nagoya is north of Ise Bay on the Nōbi Plain. The city was built on slightly raised land to protect it from floods. This plain is one of Japan's most fertile areas. The Kiso River flows west along the city's edge. The Shōnai River comes from the northeast and turns south.

The human-made Hori River was built as a canal in 1610. It flows from north to south. These rivers helped with trade. Nagoya's central location in Japan helped it grow economically and politically.
