The historic town of Arimatsu in Nagoya hosts the Arimatsu Tenmansha Shrine's autumn festival, the Arimatsu Float Festival, on the first Sunday of October each year. Designated as Tangible Folk Cultural Properties of Nagoya City, the floats of Hotei, Karako, and Jingu Takago are rotated solely by human power, and mechanical puppet performances are performed atop them, creating a breathtaking spectacle. At night, the three floats, adorned with approximately 250 paper lanterns, transform the streets into a magnificent spectacle.

Port Of Nagoya Public Aquarium

This place is worth a visit especially if you have kids. They will surely enjoy the museum itself and the living and preserved sea creatures. But be aware of the time, especially if you don&rsquo;t have your own car with you and you are travelling by bus or train, the waiting areas are a bit tricky and you might get lost. But the Locals will surely try their best to explain even if they aren&rsquo;t fluent in English.

Atsuta-jingu Shrine

We went there at night.
We were rushing to see time-limited attractions during the day.
The shrine is open all day, so we went there at night.
There were not many people in the shrine.
We saw several buildings with ancient charm.
We also saw a wine association listing various wines, which was very interesting.
