Story
Nagoya’s history dates back to 1610, when a great castle was erected by the Owari branch of the mighty Tokugawa Shogunate. After the Meiji Restoration (1868), which marked the end of shogunal rule, Nagoya continued as a commercial center.
The development of the port of Nagoya, especially after World War II, and the advantages of the city’s central location and the abundant hydroelectric power from the rivers of downtown Honshu spurred the growth of heavy industry. Traditional manufactures of watches, bicycles and sewing machines were followed by the production of specialty steels, chemicals, petroleum and petrochemicals as the region’s automobile, aviation and shipbuilding industries flourished.
Nagoya has become one of Japan’s leading research and development centers and automobile industries.
