Nakamura Ward: Nagoya Station
Nagoya Station combines the intensity of a national rail hub with the order of a commercial district in a way that reflects its position on the Nōbi Plain. It is one of Japan’s principal rail interchanges, bringing together the Tokaido Shinkansen and extensive conventional rail services in the heart of Nakamura Ward. The station first opened in 1886; JR Central Towers above it contain offices, shops and hotels. Rail corridors and broad streets run through Nagoya’s central business district, on the wide plain that opens south toward Ise Bay. As the capital of Aichi Prefecture, Nagoya is closely associated with the industrial development of central Japan.

Nakamura Ward lies along the Shinkawa River on the Nōbi Plain, where dense residential streets and commercial districts form the western side of central Nagoya. The ward is closely tied to Nagoya Station, the city’s principal rail hub and a stop on the Tokaido Shinkansen, linking it with destinations across central Japan. Nakamura Park commemorates Toyotomi Hideyoshi, who was born in this area in the 16th century. Beyond the station district, shopping streets, schools and neighbourhood shrines give the ward a distinctly local character within one of Japan’s largest urban areas.
