All Reviews of JR Central Towers

After returning to Nagoya from Tajimi City this time, I headed straight to JR Central Towers, which is connected to the station. This landmark, made up of two huge towers, is really great for shopping. It has everything from trendy clothing and household goods to restaurants, so you could easily spend an entire day here.

Since I had already decided to have Sushi no Midori for dinner that day, I got a number as soon as I arrived. While waiting, I leisurely browsed Donguri Republic and checked out some streetwear brands I like. Finally, I went down to B1 to buy some helpful Kayanoya dashi packets for cooking and various souvenirs. Not only does this place have a complete selection, but it also offers tax-free shopping, making it super convenient to buy everything in one place.

By the time my legs were getting a little sore from walking around, my number was called. The waiting system is very convenient now, since you can check the queue status anytime on your phone. Once seated, I ordered my favorite hand rolls and nigiri without hesitation. The whole table was filled with fresh, delicious food, yet the prices were much more affordable than in Taiwan, making it an excellent value. Although Sushi no Midori is now available in Taiwan too, when it comes to both the selection and prices, it’s still more satisfying to enjoy it in Japan. This is a highly recommended place for shopping and picking up souvenirs.

JR Central Towers is connected to JR Nagoya Takashimaya, making it very convenient to get to. After arriving by Shinkansen or train, you can enter the shopping center directly without taking a detour. On this visit to Nagoya, of course I immediately stopped by the Ogura Sanso counter to stock up! The basement food floor has many popular Japanese souvenirs, and after shopping there, you can continue browsing clothing, household goods, and restaurants, which saves travelers a lot of time. It’s especially convenient to get all your snack and souvenir shopping done here before boarding the Shinkansen.

Nagoya Station brings together transportation, food, department stores, and specialty shops. Meitetsu, Kintetsu, and JR all converge here, and the area is surrounded by high-rises, so it goes without saying that it's lively and bustling. This time, besides looking around while passing through, I also wanted to visit an “old friend”—Nana-chan. She happened to have changed outfits today and was dressed in a striking look. Cool!

JR Central Towers is a major landmark next to Nagoya Station, combining department stores, distinctive restaurants, cafes, and hotels, with very convenient transportation. I enjoyed browsing the shops, buying Nagoya-exclusive souvenirs, tasting local food, and taking in the lively urban atmosphere. Whether for shopping, dining, or taking a short break, it's very convenient. It's a stop you shouldn't miss during your trip, and it left me with a wonderful impression of Nagoya.
