Orientation and Maps

(Nagoya, Japan)

One of Japan's biggest cities, Nagoya lies in the Chukyo Metropolitan region of the country and has a population exceeding two million. Nagoya enjoys a fairly central situation, with wide and fast expressways, many major corporations and a busy port. Nagoya is surprisingly near to a number of areas of countryside and within the city itself are plenty of trees and landscaped areas. The city was officially founded towards the end of the 19th century and has continued to evolve ever since.

A modern off-shore airport opened at the beginning of 2005, Chubu Centrair International Airport (NGO) is situated on the south-western outskirts of the city. Nagoya's number one airport, this multi-billion dollar complex was built to impress and stands on a purpose-built artificial island, in a bay setting.
