The Kanto region has Tokyo Tower and Tokyo Skytree, and when visiting the Chubu region, you definitely shouldn't miss Chubu Electric Power MIRAI TOWER. Located by Hisaya-odori subway station, it stands 180 meters tall. Although it isn't the tallest tower in Japan, it is an important landmark in the Chubu region and a must-visit spot for night views.

The tower is in Hisaya-odori Park, with a pond in front of it where events are held from time to time. There are shops and restaurants on both sides. The scenery is completely different during the day and at night, making it a great place to have afternoon tea or enjoy dinner and a walk in the evening. At night, mist rises from the park's pond, and the atmosphere and scenery will have you taking plenty of memorable photos with your phone or camera. If you're in Nagoya's Sakae area, remember to stop by for a walk.

The Sakae shopping district is a top choice for accommodations when visiting Nagoya. Transportation is convenient, and the area from Hisaya-odori Station through Sakae Station to Yabacho Station is lined with department stores, shopping centers, restaurants, and more. Sakae Station is the liveliest part of the area, and you can walk around and browse at night. The Ferris wheel is quite beautiful at night, but the area near Don Quijote attracts a more mixed crowd after 11:00 p.m., so be mindful of your personal safety and belongings. South of Sakae is where many department stores are concentrated. If it's your first visit, you can stay at a hotel south of Sakae. Prices are a little higher, but you won't have to worry about finding places to eat or shop.

The Nagoya City Science Museum is definitely a must-visit family attraction in Nagoya that you'll regret missing. You can spend half a day here with your kids. The entire museum offers hands-on exhibits that you can touch and operate to experience science firsthand. There's no need to worry if you can't read Japanese—the activities are simple and easy to figure out, and kids are sure to love them. The most memorable exhibit was the tornado generator, which can create a tornado 2–3 floors high. Combined with the sound and lighting effects, it makes for a very immersive experience. Keep in mind that there is no food available for purchase inside the museum, so you can bring some bread and snacks to eat in the rest area and recharge. After leaving the museum, there's also a nice dessert shop across the street directly opposite the spherical building that is well worth visiting.

Gifu Castle in Gifu Prefecture is located at the top of Mount Kinka. It was renamed after Oda Nobunaga captured it during Japan’s Sengoku period. Since it is at the top of the mountain, you need to take the ropeway from Gifu Park below. Building this castle back then must have taken tremendous effort, so it’s no wonder it was easy to defend and difficult to attack. After getting off the ropeway, you still have to walk for about 10 minutes. If you come here, you definitely have to go up to the castle keep. From there, you can see the Nagara River and the city scenery in the distance. Gifu Park at the foot of the mountain has a hydrangea season in June, so besides visiting Gifu Castle, you can also enjoy the hydrangeas below the mountain castle.
