explanation: Town located in the west of Aichi Prefecture, at the bottom of Ise Bay. Its population is 2.1 millions. Nagoya has developed as a town-castle of the vice-shogunate since the beginning of Edo period in 17th century. During WWII, the town was wholly destroyed with its famous castle. Now it has been completely rebuilt with a new daring urban plan. Not only it is terminus and crossing point of many railroads but owns the third largest harbor of Japan.
