All Reviews of Kinshachi Yokocho

When visiting Nagoya Castle, don't forget to stop by the nearby Kinshachi Yokocho! The food district has two areas: the Muneharu Zone outside the East Gate and the Yoshinao Zone outside the Main Gate, each with its own unique character. This time, I visited the Muneharu Zone. It's just across the street from Exit 7 of Shiyakusho subway station, so it's very convenient to get to. The streets have a strong Edo-period atmosphere, with local Nagoya cuisine, souvenirs, and specialty snacks. It's a great place to grab a bite and take a break after visiting Nagoya Castle. Stroll around, enjoy the food, and experience Nagoya's culinary appeal!

Kinshachi Yokocho is perfect to visit after exploring Nagoya Castle!

There are lots of famous Nagoya restaurants gathered here, so if you’re not sure what to eat, this is the place to go. This time I had miso katsu. The rich miso sauce with the crispy-on-the-outside, tender-on-the-inside pork cutlet was sweet, savory, and perfect with rice. No wonder so many of these shops have branches all over Japan.

If you come to Nagoya and don’t have miso katsu, it really feels like you’re missing something!
