Nagoya Hotel Reviews

I visited the World Expo in Nagoya. It was a fascinating experience. However, I felt that the whole experience was very commercialized and the organizers could have been better organized. At times the Expo seemed a little bit chaotic. If you are going to the Expo, I would recommend that you go for more than a day. The waiting lines for the various exhibits are tremendously long. Wait times greater than 30 minutes are the norm and they give out reserved tickets for exhibits at designated times which you must obtain if you want to visit them. Nagoya Castle is a destination you must visit if you are in Nagoya. It''s an impressive destination and there''s a lot to see and experience. Nighlife in Nagoya is pretty quiet. Don''t expect late night drinking sessions and much frenzied action like you would find in Tokyo. Compared to Tokyo, Westerners and foreigners are not that many and visible in Nagoya. I''m not sure if this is a benefit to you or not, but I found it refreshing not having so many Westerners and foreigners around.

Just stayed one night after attending the Aichi/Nagoya Expo 2005. I was intrigued by the nearby Hawaiian restaurant in the new mall adjacent to the station. But the music was painfully loud, so we left. Found a little gem of a place, also in the mall: the Soya Cafe - a real hoot. Miniature complex combo dinners with soy in almost everything. Delicious, fun and at a good price.

For a vacation probably two days in enough in Nagoya, the castle is worth visiting as you can go inside. The port area is also worth visiting even just for a walk around. The shopping in mainly located in the Sakae district, as Nagoya is a relatively small city it is very easy to get around by subway and I would recommend buying a one-day subway pass it cost around 800yen but was well worth it, I think the additional bus pass would not be worth it. The most famous shrine in Nagoya was a bit of a let down. It was a nice relief to escape from the crowds of Tokyo!

If arriving by air, check with the hotel location and time for their shuttle bus - it is 1/3 price of a taxi and takes the best route!

Visited castle, shrines, orchid garden, zoo, Little World of Man. Recommend Royal Host restaurant for air conditioning and kind attention to children. One day subway pass was convenient.

Nagoya is a great city! It''s not the most exciting or most beautiful city in Japan, but it is clean, the people are nice, the weather is good, and it has some of the best food in the country.

I really enjoyed seeing old buddies in Nagoya.

Nagashima park is one of the best THEME PARK in the world.

went to Nagashima Spaland to ride the highest and longest roller coaster.

I was in Nagoya on business and used to live there, so there wasn''t much touring going on. However for the tourist staying at the Nagoya Kanko Hotel... The hotel is across the street from the Nagoya Hard Rock Cafe. The nearest subway station (Fushimi station) is only a couple short blocks away and provides access to the rest of the city. From Fushimi station, one can travel a single stop to Nagoya, Sakae or Osu Kannon. <br><br> At Nagoya station, there are the newly completed JR Central Towers. The Towers are the tallest thing around in Nagoya with a beautiful 51st floor observation deck. Additionally, there is a great deal of shopping to do without leaving the building.<br><br> Osu Kannon is a favorite place to find almost everything. Bargins abound for the savvy shopper. Sakae is the shopping center of the city and there is so much to do and see there. Additional places to see in Nagoya include the Nagoya Castle, Tokugawa Art Museum, Higashiyama Park, and Nagoya Port.

We were on our way out of Japan, and had done much touring before our stay. Great location though! Had a nice last night walking around Fushimi. Plenty to do!

City site seings were easily carried out by one day metro ticket. Metro station is just on the next corner. A train excursion to Toba (Pearl Island) was unforgettable.

Dined at the French restaurant (Escoffier) for our Thanksgiving splurge. Elegant, good food beautifully served, but pricey. Music has got to change - Disney tunes no less! Had to ask to turn down the volume.
