About Nagoya
The port opened in 1907 and handles more cargo than any other in Japan, which is what the city is: the manufacturing centre of the country, with the car industry in the plain around it. Ships berth at Garden Pier, laid out as the public face of the working port — the aquarium, the maritime museum and the Antarctic survey ship Fuji are all on the quay you step onto. The site of the original iron pier of 1907, 127 metres of it, is marked nearby; Garden Pier itself was still open water then.
Within reach of the port
Garden Pier, without leaving the quay
The aquarium, a maritime museum, a park along the water, and the Fuji, the ship that carried Japan's Antarctic expeditions for eighteen years and is now open to walk through. All of it is on the pier the ship ties up at.
Atsuta Jingu
Fifteen minutes inland, and older than the city by a long way. The shrine keeps one of the three imperial regalia, and the grounds are a stand of camphor trees in the middle of a built-up ward.
Nagoya Castle
Half an hour from the pier. The keep was rebuilt in concrete after the war and is closed, but the palace beside it has been rebuilt in wood to the original drawings and is the reason to go.
Shore excursions
NYK Cruises run their own guided excursions at each port, booked by guests themselves through My ASUKA PLANS — the booking window opens before departure and depends on your cabin class. They are conducted in Japanese. Going ashore independently is always an option.
