North hall: A 3.5-billion-year journey Animals return to the ocean Approximately 3.5 billion years ago, single-celled organisms emerged in the oceans, becoming the earliest life forms on Earth. Countless species evolved along their own paths, with some migrating to land and evolving into giant dinosaurs that once dominated the terrestrial realm. However, they eventually became extinct. Later, mammals dominated the land. Around 50 million years ago, some mammals returned to the ocean, their natural habitat. These animals evolved into modern whales. To adapt to underwater life, they developed streamlined bodies, forming the graceful shapes we see today. This exhibition will chronologically guide visitors into the world of cetaceans. These marine creatures have adapted to underwater life, developing remarkable intelligence, and are said to hold a terrestrial status comparable to humans. South hall: Journey to Antarctica Global journey, encountering diverse life across the five oceans The vast ocean covers approx. 70% of the earth's surface, featuring diverse temperatures and climates that enable organisms to adapt to various environments and continuously evolve. In the south pavilion, you can retrace the route of the Antarctic research vessel "Fuji" docked at Nagoya port garden pier, and observe creatures living in different water zones including the "Sea of Japan", "Deep sea exhibition hall", "Equatorial waters", "Australian waters", and "Antarctic waters". Let's embark on an Antarctic journey and observe the ecosystems of creatures living in different waters up close.

Nagoya Castlewas built by order of Tokugawa Ieyasu and was once the residence of the Owari Tokugawa clan. It is often cited alongside Osaka Castle and Kumamoto Castle as one of Japan's three most famous castles. At both ends of the main keep's roof ridge sit a pair of male and female golden shachihoko (mythical tiger-headed carp); these golden ornaments shine brilliantly in the sunlight, and their majestic appearance remains a highly recognizable symbol of the city. The core attraction within the castle is the restored Honmaru Palace. This complex, which once served as the residence and administrative office for the feudal lord, was rebuilt based on primary historical sources, with halls such as the Omote Shoin and Jorakuden laid out in sequence, and exquisite wall paintings and gold-leaf decorations recreating the grandeur of the samurai shoin-zukuri style. Outside the palace, the three corner turrets—southwest, southeast, and northwest—are historical structures that have survived to this day, and you can still identify the markings of various feudal lords on the massive stones of the stone walls, while Ni-no-maru Garden is known for its waterfall rock arrangements and stone bridges. In terms of the experience, the park is planted with nearly 1,000 cherry trees, and when they bloom in spring, the main keep and the cherry blossoms can be captured in the same frame. The plaza often hosts live performances and interactive experiences by Sengoku warrior groups and ninja squads, providing visitors with a rich array of historical architecture viewing and cultural activities.

Ghibli Park, Japan: A Whimsical Journey Into Studio Ghibli’s WorldGhibli Park in Aichi, Japan, is a dream come true for fans of Studio Ghibli. Rather than flashy rides, the park offers immersive experiences that bring the magic of films like My Neighbor Totoro, Spirited Away, and Howl’s Moving Castle to life.You can explore lovingly recreated sets, walk through forest trails, and even step into Satsuki and Mei’s house or the mysterious Ghibli Grand Warehouse. The attention to detail is breathtaking — every corner feels like you’ve stepped inside a hand-drawn scene.Peaceful, nostalgic, and beautifully designed, Ghibli Park is more than a theme park — it’s a gentle, heartfelt tribute to imagination itself.Perfect for those who grew up with Ghibli and anyone who loves artful storytelling.

The Aquarium is a great place for avid sea lovers- we especially loved the dolphin’s performance. The South building really surprised us with the turtles and the penguins especially . It was great to see the way the aquarium was build around the environments where the animals reside in the wild ( such as the coral reef sections).

This is a stadium, and it is also used for concerts when not in use. The building area of ​​the entire area is quite large, and the space is very compact. You can see a lot of interesting things here, and the square outside can park a lot of vehicles.

This Toyota Automobile Museum displays many brands of cars. I thought it wouldn't be very exciting, but I was shocked when I went to the second floor exhibition hall. It only takes more than 20 minutes to drive from Nagoya to this exhibition hall. This is a place worth visiting. When visiting exhibitions in Japan, you can enter and exit many times with the ticket for the day, which is very good.

You can go and have some fun. Anyway, there aren't many places to play in Nagoya. The park is not big. It has small bridges and flowing water. Many locals take their kids there. There is also the Tokugawa Art Museum and delicious eel rice next to it.
