Nagoya

Samurai Central: The Birthplace of Shogun

About

Nagoya is the birthplace of Japan’s three great unifiers—Oda Nobunaga, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and Tokugawa Ieyasu—whose rule shaped the nation’s politics, culture, and arts. Many forms of what we now consider traditional Japanese culture emerged during this era. Centrally located with excellent transport links, Nagoya is ideal for travelers interested in samurai history while adding variety to the classic Tokyo–Kyoto route, with easy access to lesser-known regional highlights.
