- Aichi Pref. Nagoyashi Nakamura-ku Meieki 1-2-1
- A large mannequin standing at the entrance to the men's area on the first floor of the Meitetsu Department Store Men's Building in front of Nagoya Station. The mannequin was created in 1973 on the one year anniversary of the opening of the Seven Building (later renamed the Young Building and closed in 2011) to serve as a symbol of that facility. Throughout the year, the mannequin is dressed in a variety of seasonal outfits. The mannequin also serves as a popular meetup spot.

昨年は開催が中止でしたが、今年は開催という事で訪れましたが、駐車場も満員でかなり待ちましたが、紫陽花の素晴らしさに感動でした。 広大な敷地にたくさんの種類の紫陽花が咲きほこり、圧巻でした。紫陽花に囲まれた階段を上がり、上から見下ろした景色も素晴らしかったです。 不安が続く状況ですが、あまりの素晴らしさに癒されました。

今年は桜の開花が早く３月の２０日くらいには満開になっていました。佐奈川の両岸に植えられた桜や菜の花を見ながら散歩するのが毎年の楽しみになっています。約２KMくらいは歩いて見てきますが、まだとの位続いているかわからないですが桜並木はとても綺麗です。連年は近くのイオンでお弁当を買って桜の花を見ながら昼食するのですが、今年はやめておきましたが、来年はお弁当を食べて帰りたいです。

- Goyu Avenue of Pines
- Travel / Tourism
- Aichi Pref. Toyokawashi Goyuchou Namimatsu
- Goyu Avenue of Pines is an approximately 600 meter long row of pine trees from Goyu-shuku to Akasaka-shuku, prosperous post-station towns along the former Tokaido Road. The trees were planted by order of the Tokugawa Shogunate in 1604 as a way to protect travelers from the blazing sun in the summer and the howling wind and snow in the winter. Of the Go-kaido Road (Five Highways radiating from Edo) there are now very few places where avenues of pines can be found. The Goyu Avenue of Pines has been designated as a natural monument in Japan. In the novel, Tokaidochu Hizakurige (known as Shank's Mare), the Goyu Avenue of Pines is where the main characters Yajirobe and Kitahachi were to be bewitched by a fox. The nearest station is Goyu Station.
Aichi Areas
Aichi is a prefecture of great natural beauty with Nagoya city at its heart, a busy hub home to a labyrinth of underground shops and the 17th-century Nagoya Castle. Castles are easy to find in this history-rich prefecture, but the highlight for history buffs has to be the Museum Meiji-mura, where preserved buildings from the turn of the 20th century are displayed in all their grandeur in an outdoor museum.
