8 Best Hostels In Nagoya, Japan
The birthplace of Toyota and pachinko, Nagoya is Japan’s fourth most populated city with over two million inhabitants. The capital of Aichi Prefecture, this manufacturing and shipping hub is the unsung city of Japan. The headquarters of the Toyota Motor Corporation is located just outside the city and, contrary to the impression among Japanese as the nation’s most boring metropolis, the museums, well-maintained parks, green spaces, temples and shopping complexes tell a different story.
Nagoya is also the doorway to Chubu’s big, mountainous heart and a great base for day trips. If you’re planning a trip to Nagoya and you are on a budget, check out our top-rated picks for hostel accommodation in the area, which provide access to all the city has to offer.
