Aichi Kano

Discovering the Arts in Aichi

Tokyo may be the big fish in the Japanese garden pond, but Nagoya is no minnow. Judging by Aichi Kano, Nagoya prides itself on its thriving arts and entertainment scene. This excellent guide ensures that you won't pass through the city bypassing its galleries, exhibitions, music and arts events. You can cast an eye over Japanese paintings at the Art Salon, or lend an ear to Hot Spice playing at the Diamond Hall.

But Aichi Kano doesn't just stop with the arts. As the local tourist office's official website they are keen to promote all that the region has to offer; including some unexpected 'attractions'. The 'Industrial Sightseeing' section is a good example, but don't dismiss it straight off; it's surprisingly easy to get sucked into the inexplicable lure of the Vinegar Museum or the Orchid Gardens .

You'll also find plenty of information on the Aichi's historical background, plus a rundown of speciality local cuisine and a guide to the region's wildlife hotspots. You would imagine that a municipal website might be somewhat dry, and you would be correct, nevertheless it provides a useful overview of the prefecture.
