\n\u00a0Nagoya City, located in central Japan, is the political, economic, and cultural hub of the Chubu region, and is home to more than 2.3 million people. Positioned between Tokyo and Osaka, and with a major Shinkansen stop, the city offers excellent access from all parts of the country. This year, Nagoya will host two major international sporting events: the 20th Asia Games, Asia\u2019s largest festival of peace and sports, in September, followed by the 5th Asia Para Games, the region\u2019s biggest comprehensive sports event for athletes with disabilities, in October.
\n\u00a0\"\" \u00a0 \"\"<\/p>\n

This region has long thrived as a centre of high-quality, skill-intensive manufacturing. Anchored by Toyota, one of the world\u2019s leading automobile manufacturers, the area has developed a dense concentration of automotive industries, making it one of Japan’s most prominent industrial hubs. Nagoya Port further strengthens this position, serving as a key gateway for Japan\u2019s trade and boasting the highest cargo volume of any port in the country.Nagoya also has deep historical significance.<\/p>\n

The city is known as the birthplace of many influential warlords who shaped Japanese history. Its most iconic landmark, Nagoya Castle, stands as a symbol of this heritage. The castle\u2019s golden \u2018Kinshachi\u2019, the shimmering tiger\u2011headed carp ornaments adorning its roof, gleam brilliantly against the blue sky, leaving a lasting impression on visitors.<\/p>\n

Nagoya\u2019s vibrant food culture is one of its major attractions. Known collectively as Nagoya Meshi, the local cuisine features distinctive dishes such as hitsumabushi, miso katsu, and tebasaki, flavours that draw visitors from near and far.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

The city is also gaining popularity as a tourist\u2019s destination. Ghibli Park, which opened in 2022, brings the enchanting world of Studio Ghibli to life and has quickly become a favourite spot for visitors from Japan and abroad. In addition, the World Cosplay Summit, held annually in Nagoya, is a flagship event celebrating Japanese subculture and attracts passionate fans from around the world.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

Nagoya City established a sister city relationship with Sydney, Australia, in 1980, and 2025 marked the 45th anniversary of this partnership. Over the years, the two cities have engaged in a wide range of exchanges, including high school student exchange programs, marathon exchanges, plant exchanges and book exchanges. One of the most active exchanges has been between their sister zoos, Higashiyama Zoo and Botanical Gardens in Nagoya and Taronga Zoo, in Sydney. The koalas sent from Sydney have become beloved residents of Higashiyama Zoo, cherished by citizens as a symbolic link between the two cities.
\n\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

Looking ahead, both cities hope to further deepen mutual understanding and friendship among their citizens, strengthening their bond for the next 50, 100 years, and well beyond.\u00a0 \"\"<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
