Aichi
•
In Aichi the visitor can feel the spirit of the
successive periods of Japan's past and
present-from the spirit of the many brilliant
figures who shaped Japanese history and
opened the way to an increasingly modern
Japan out of the mystery-shrouded ancient
and medieval Japan to the dynamism of
leading industrial manufacturers that have
helped build contemporary Japan

Aichi
• Toyota City
Because of the presence of Toyota Motors,
the city of Toyota is known worldwide as
an automobile manufacturing city. Toyota
is also the homeland of the Matsudaira
clan, from which Tokugawa Ieyasu (15421616) emerged to lay the foundation for
the Edo shogunate (1603-1867), and
many places of historical interest still
remain in Toyota.

Seto City
The symbol of the city of Seto is Seto-yaki ceramic ware, one of the
outstanding representative types of Japanese pottery and ceramics. The
origins of Seto-yaki date back to the Nara Period (710-784). Seto-yaki pottery
has been extensively produced from long ago, and still today Seto maintains
its proud tradition as one of the leading producers of ceramics in Japan. The
fact that Seto-mono ("article from Seto") became synonymous, because of
Seto-yaki, for pottery in Japan reminds us of the great popularity Seto
ceramics have always had. There are many spots for tourists to appreciate
Seto ceramics such as the Seto City Folk Historical Materials Museum and the
Aichi Prefectural Ceramics Museum, as well as numerous places to enjoy the
experience of actually making ceramic pottery.

Nagoya City
The capital of Aichi Prefecture, Nagoya City boasts a
population of over 2.19 million people and is a core
metropolitan area in the central region of Japan. Rising
high above Nagoya Station, a busy hub for departing and
arriving Tokaido Shinkansen bullet trains, is the JR Central
Towers, the new gateway to Aichi, and a stream of new
shops and accommodations are opening in this glittering
complex. Within Nagoya City, the tourist can visit many
historical buildings, beginning with Nagoya Castle
(Nagoya-jo), as well as a variety of museums such as the
Tokugawa Art Museum. With many other areas of unique
interest crisscrossing the city, visitors can enjoy to their
heart's content the kind of sightseeing, shopping, and
dining that only Nagoya provides.
