A major tourist attraction that easily reachable from Nagoyako subway station. This is where half of Nagoya population spend their weekends on. Many major tourist attractions are located here and it's a perfect pkace to visit if you have young children. Can be strikingly hot during the summer so be sure to wear the proper attire. I recommend visiting in the morning or in the afternoon.
