Nagoya Tour 2nd Part; afternoon at Nagoya Castle

How to go to Sakae;
Just a metro ride going to Sakae Station. Admission is free except for the Ferris Wheel and the Nagoya TV Tower. Photography and video taking with monopod and tripod is permitted inside the premise.

Sakae district is formed around Sakae intersection Otsu-dori going north-south and Hirokoji-dori going east-west, and is the main shopping district of Nagoya. Parallel to Otsu-dori is Hisaya-odori; this road runs from Yaba-cho to Sakae except for Sotobori-dori, which is maintained as Hisaya Ōdori Park. Popular events are held in this park on the weekend. Also, inside Hisaya-odori Park is the 180-meter Nagoya TV Tower, built in 1954, which is often mentioned as a symbol of Nagoya. At night, the tower is lit and can be seen all over Sakae. Adjacent to the tower is a large facility called Oasis 21, which has restaurants, stores, and a bus terminal. Adjacent to Oasis 21 is the major cultural facility Aichi Fine Arts Center, which contains facilities such as Aichi Fine Art Museum and Aichi Performing Arts Theater.
