A trip around Japan's prefectures 44: Aichi Prefecture

The "social studies" that you study is a very enjoyable subject that connects to everyday life, teaching you about what is happening in the world, history, geography, and more.

today,AichiWe will introduce three places from here.

  • Nagoya CastleNagoya city
  • Port of Nagoya Public Aquarium
  • Little World (open-air museum of mankind)

First of all,Nagoya CastleNagoya city.

It is famous for the golden "Shachihoko" (fish-shaped ornament) on its roof. Nagoya Castle was built by Tokugawa Ieyasu in 1615 (Keicho 20). It boasted the largest total floor area in history, a magnificent Honmaru Palace, and the function of a fortress with ironclad defenses, and was the first castle to be designated as a National Treasure. Even after it was destroyed in a war, it was designated as a special national historic site as one of the best castles in the country,
The restored Honmaru Palace and other buildings vividly convey the castle's former appearance.

next,Port of Nagoya Public Aquarium.

It is one of the largest aquariums in Japan, exhibiting around 500 types of marine life. There is an aquarium where large killer whales and dolphins swim, and many events are held, such as dolphin performances, public training sessions for killer whales and beluga whales, and a sardine tornado.

Finally,Little World (open-air museum of mankind)I'd like to introduce_______

Little World in Inuyama City is an outdoor museum where you can experience the homes and cultures of various countries around the world. There are actual houses from Germany, Thailand, Africa, and more, so you can feel like you're traveling abroad. You can also try on traditional costumes and try food from each country. It's also perfect for learning about geography and culture.

Find these places on a paper map, on the internet, or even visit them in person someday.

So, stay tuned for next time!
