2025 Nakamura Ward Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in May)

It is said to be the "Kitchen of the Citizens of Nagoya"! This is "Yanagibashi Central Market". I usually just wander through the market, so I decided to take a stroll inside. After walking a little, you will come to Nagoya Station and high-rise buildings, but this place seems to be a place that does not change much. Restaurants are lined up around the market. When you walk around at night, the shops that are closed now are open, so it seems like a town that changes its appearance depending on the time of day. Well, it is a "market" after all! When I visited before noon, I saw several restaurants with queues in a building called "Marunaka Food Center". There seem to be many tourists who head to the market for a meal. I also saw an advertisement for a "beer garden", so I think it will be crowded in the evening as well. The seafood shops were draining water and cleaning up, so it is a tourist spot that you will want to visit early in the morning! It is in front of Nagoya Station, so it is easily accessible. Nagoya's Yanagibashi Central Market has a different look in the morning, afternoon, and evening.

The "Ieyasu Land Information Center" was opened in the central concourse event space of JR Nagoya Station. It seems that they are promoting Nagoya as "military commander tourism" in anticipation of the broadcast of the 2023 taiga drama "What will Ieyasu do?". There is a commemorative photo spot with a photo of the "golden shachi" of Nagoya Castle and the word "NAGOYA" made of LEGO. There is also an exhibition of a replica of Tokugawa Ieyasu's armor. The LEGO "Nagoya Castle" exhibition is also popular, and it is a masterpiece that took 120 hours to build with 15,000 pieces. The information center has many tourist brochures from Aichi Prefecture, and Okazaki's "Taiga Drama Museum" is being heavily promoted. "Military commander tourism" may become popular in Nagoya from now on!

CAFE DANMARK is located near Nagoya Umaimono Dori (Hirokoji Exit) at JR Nagoya Station. The menu at this shop is interesting... A Nagoya sweet with a funny character called Shachibon. The poster has the phrase "After 11 years of hiatus, it's back at Nagoya Station". Simply put, it's Nagoya's Shachihoko sweets, and it belongs to the cream puff category. It's a sweet with an adorable expression that's intriguing! The fillings are custard whipped cream, chocolate cream, and red bean paste cream. The eat-in price starts at 605 yen including tax. Shachibon comes with a Shachibon Bisco! It seems that Shachibon goods such as fiber cloths and key chains are also on sale. Because it's a cream puff, the complex shape of the Shachibon makes it difficult to eat. Be careful not to hit the center, as it will get crushed (see photo). This time I had the "Ogura An Cream". There was also something that looked like a large cream puff in the display case outside the store, so if you're interested, please check it out!
