Nagoya, capital of Japan’s Aichi Prefecture, is a manufacturing and shipping hub in central Honshu. The city’s Naka ward is home to museums and pachinko (gambling machine) parlors. Naka also includes the Sakae entertainment district, with attractions like the Sky-Boat Ferris wheel, which is attached to a mall.

Being at the heart of the Sengoku, or Warring States period, many of history's most famous samurai battles happened in and around the greater Nagoya region too. Nagoya Castle features one of Japan's largest castle tower keeps, and arguably, the finest palace of any castle in Japanese history.
