Making a good pitstop while you travel by shinkansen from Tokyo to Osaka or Kyoto, this major international trading port city is a place worth visiting. Which is why this time, JANPANKURU summarized some of Nagoya's top things to do/places to go showing just a few of its famous history, food, and shopping areas.
One of the World's Largest Train Stations
From the Edo period, the shopping street, Osu Kannon, which is based on the Osu Kannon Temple and Banshoji Temple, has a history of more than 400 years and is 1,700 meters (1 mile) in length. There are more than 1,200 shops here selling food, clothes, vintage goods, even things catering to the otaku culture making it a very popular shopping street.
The upcoming Japanese holiday Setsubun (February 3rd) will also be held at Osu Kannon Shopping Street. Other festivals are also held here such as the Osu Summer Festival (大須夏まつり) which is in early August and the Osu Daido Chonin Festival (大須大道町人祭) in October. If you happen to be on the 8th and 28th, every month there is an antique market in the square of the Osu Kannon Temple.
The high-performance outdoor equipment brand Arc'teryx recently opened a branch in Nagoya and it has apparently been big news for those living in there. Even for outdoor wear fans due to this branch being the biggest store in Japan to date. Arc'teryx's long-term relationship with Gore-Tex is a big reason they have some of the best windproof, waterproof, warm yet breathable clothing. If you are unaware it Gore-Tex, they are known for specializing in the development of clothing technology, such as water-resistant zippers, micro-seam technology, waterproof glue strips, making the garment more durable.
Since it is such a popular place to shop lately in Nagoya, we decided to stop by and take a look.
"VL: VEILANCE (high-end series)", "OD: OUTDOOR (outdoor series)", "FW: FOOTWEAR (shoes)"
Not every shop that sells Arc'teryx goods offers these three series
so you will have to go to a brand store to get articles from their complete brand.
At this Arc'teryx brand store, there is also a whole wall filled with backpacks and shoes giving you a variety to choose something that matches your style and personal needs. The store clerk pointed out two must-see items that are special to the store and brand.
As mentioned earlier, Arc'teryx has a high-end series "Arc'teryx VEILANCE", which mainly consists of black and navy wear. The simple and slim design is very suitable for those are into a chic fashion look. Made of waterproof and wind-resistant Gore-Tex fabrics, the Arc'teryx VEILANCE series, which combines fashion and function, allows you to feel comfortable no matter what the weather conditions are.
After shopping at Arc'teryx, we went around to enjoy some of Nagoya's great food! Nagoya is most famous for its delicious food, especially dishes like miso katsu (みそかつ), miso nikomi udon (味噌煮込みうどん), chicken wings (手羽先; tebasaki), and Ogura toast (小倉トースト), which is what brings a lot of Japanese people to Nagoya. So while you are out and about sightseeing and shopping, be sure to eat some of their delicious local cuisine!
