    Aichi Nagoya-shi Minato-ku Kinjofuto 2-chome 2

    名古屋駅からあおなみ線で終点の金城ふ頭まで25分程乗って、降りてから歩いて5分程の場所にある会場です。 会場はフェスやマンモスフリーマーケットなど、大規模なイベントの会場で使われる事が多いです。 会場の規模の割に、トイレの数が少ないので、トイレにとても並ぶのが不便です。会場内にはレストランもありますが、イベント時はとても混んでいます。

Aichi Areas

around-area-map

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.
