【Cultural path】Let’s walk around Nagoya

Where should I go after visiting Nagoya Castle?

The Cultural Path (Bunka-no-Michi 文化のみち) is a historical area located east of Nagoya Castle. This area was originally a residential district for mid-ranking samurai. After the Edo period ended, it became a neighborhood filled with the homes of successful businessmen, reflecting a blend of traditional and Western-style architecture.

Today, the Cultural Path is a popular walking route where visitors can enjoy elegant historic houses, museums, and peaceful streetscapes. It offers a glimpse into how Nagoya transformed from a feudal city into a modern urban center.
