    The Nagoya City Art Museum is located in Shirakawa Park and is a great cultural attraction to include in a city itinerary. Its collection mainly features works by artists from Nagoya and is quite extensive, with occasional special exhibitions that are well worth seeing.

    Admission to the permanent exhibition is very affordable, and you can easily look around without spending too much time. If you happen to have rainy weather or want to avoid the crowds at popular attractions, it's also nice to come here, see an exhibition, and soak up the artistic atmosphere. Afterward, you can take a stroll through Shirakawa Park for a relaxed and pleasant outing.
