Like the other popular Japanese cities, Nagoya is bustling and modern. But unlike Tokyo or Osaka it’s much more compact where you can still find the traditional temples, skyscrapers and local izakayas to your heart’s content. What’s more, the city is a great jump-off point to see the Takayama and Shirakawago, with their picturesque old towns and well-preserved architecture.
