North hall: A 3.5-billion-year journey Animals return to the ocean Approximately 3.5 billion years ago, single-celled organisms emerged in the oceans, becoming the earliest life forms on Earth. Countless species evolved along their own paths, with some migrating to land and evolving into giant dinosaurs that once dominated the terrestrial realm. However, they eventually became extinct. Later, mammals dominated the land. Around 50 million years ago, some mammals returned to the ocean, their natural habitat. These animals evolved into modern whales. To adapt to underwater life, they developed streamlined bodies, forming the graceful shapes we see today. This exhibition will chronologically guide visitors into the world of cetaceans. These marine creatures have adapted to underwater life, developing remarkable intelligence, and are said to hold a terrestrial status comparable to humans. South hall: Journey to Antarctica Global journey, encountering diverse life across the five oceans The vast ocean covers approx. 70% of the earth's surface, featuring diverse temperatures and climates that enable organisms to adapt to various environments and continuously evolve. In the south pavilion, you can retrace the route of the Antarctic research vessel "Fuji" docked at Nagoya port garden pier, and observe creatures living in different water zones including the "Sea of Japan", "Deep sea exhibition hall", "Equatorial waters", "Australian waters", and "Antarctic waters". Let's embark on an Antarctic journey and observe the ecosystems of creatures living in different waters up close.Nagoya · 10.4km from downtown

Nagoya Castlewas built by order of Tokugawa Ieyasu and was once the residence of the Owari Tokugawa clan. It is often cited alongside Osaka Castle and Kumamoto Castle as one of Japan's three most famous castles. At both ends of the main keep's roof ridge sit a pair of male and female golden shachihoko (mythical tiger-headed carp); these golden ornaments shine brilliantly in the sunlight, and their majestic appearance remains a highly recognizable symbol of the city. The core attraction within the castle is the restored Honmaru Palace. This complex, which once served as the residence and administrative office for the feudal lord, was rebuilt based on primary historical sources, with halls such as the Omote Shoin and Jorakuden laid out in sequence, and exquisite wall paintings and gold-leaf decorations recreating the grandeur of the samurai shoin-zukuri style. Outside the palace, the three corner turrets—southwest, southeast, and northwest—are historical structures that have survived to this day, and you can still identify the markings of various feudal lords on the massive stones of the stone walls, while Ni-no-maru Garden is known for its waterfall rock arrangements and stone bridges. In terms of the experience, the park is planted with nearly 1,000 cherry trees, and when they bloom in spring, the main keep and the cherry blossoms can be captured in the same frame. The plaza often hosts live performances and interactive experiences by Sengoku warrior groups and ninja squads, providing visitors with a rich array of historical architecture viewing and cultural activities.Nagoya · 711m from downtown

There are many interesting rides. Many restaurants in the theme park as well. It is easy to get to with subway. If there is a thing that needs to improve is that some shows need to have English subtitles.

I admire the Japanese creativity; it's indeed quite interesting. It's located inside the Lalaport shopping mall, but a bit hard to find. It's actually more suitable for younger children, but adults with a childlike spirit will also find it appealing—a great place to relieve stress.

Atsuta Jingu is a very famous shrine in Nagoya, with a long history and rich cultural atmosphere. The entire shrine is located in a dense forest, and walking through it feels like being in the tranquility of nature. The main hall is solemn and majestic, and many tourists and locals come to worship and pray, especially during the New Year or important festivals. The shrine enshrines the Kusanagi sword, one of the three major artifacts of Japan, so it has important religious significance. There are also beautiful ponds, torii and ancient trees in the courtyard, which are very suitable for taking pictures. This is a great place to experience Japan's traditional culture and beautiful nature, and it is worth savoring.

Come and pay homage to the history of the industrial giant Toyota. Although they started in the textile industry, they accidentally created the legend of the automobile manufacturing industry later, and now they still dominate the global automobile production and sales. From the exhibition route and introduction, we can also see the extreme pursuit of details by the Japanese. There is also a small restaurant in the museum that provides simple meals, and even the pre-made dishes taste good.
