2023 China Merchants Cruises Japan Travel Notes: Day 9 (Nagoya)

Nagoya City is located in the western part of Aichi Prefecture, Japan. It is the capital of Aichi Prefecture and the central city of the Nagoya metropolitan area, one of Japan's three major metropolitan areas. Nagoya City is the fourth most populous city in Japan, with a total area of ​​326.45 square kilometers and a total population of 2.284 million. As an important port city, Nagoya Port is also one of Japan's five major international trade ports. ​Nagoya is one of my favorite cities. The world-famous Toyota Motor Corporation is located here. On October 24, 1978, Deng Xiaoping visited Nissan Motor Company in Japan and lamented that although both were producing cars, Japan produced dozens of times more than China. Faced with the huge gap, Deng Xiaoping fell into deep thought. He pointed out that if we did not implement reform now, our socialist cause would be ruined, and reform and opening up was imperative. This laid the foundation for China's reform and opening up. Nagoya also has a castle tower. But it is under renovation now and you cannot go in to visit. However, you can visit the Honmaru Palace, which was built in 1615. The wall paintings in this palace are all made of gold foil, very exquisite, worthy of being called a national treasure of Japan! The "MUJI" here is very large, and the goods sold are cheaper than those in China. Nagoya, Aichi Prefecture
