    A historical museum which first opened in 1977. The museums standing exhibit on the history of Owari Province presents the history of Nagoya from the Paleolithic to the modern era. The museum also holds special exhibitions featuring amazing cultural assets from Japan and around the world. In addition to its exhibits, the museum also holds lectures, workshops, and other events.

Night Museum events have also become a tradition and are packed with touches which help visitors enjoy an evening at the museum even more.

    We went to visit the museum today and several qualities made it a major disappointment. First, a wholly unfriendly staff. It had a very awkward atmosphere and we were followed closely by a guide who...

    長い石段が表参道ですが、湯谷温泉駅南からバスで鳳来山寺前まで行きました。そこから徒歩で10分ほどで本堂です。火事などで多くのお堂が失われていますが、かっては山頂一帯にお堂が並んでいたようです。本堂からの眺めも絶景。天気のいい日は、麓から石段を登って、山頂まで行くのもいいと思います。

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.
