Hi, I’m Shoko, your friendly Nagoya guide! I’m passionate about the city’s vibrant food scene and love discovering new restaurants in every corner of Nagoya. With a deep knowledge of both the bustling downtown Sakae area and the serene Japanese gardens, I can show you the best spots for fancy yet affordable meals. I also enjoy shopping at Central Park and Mozo Wonder City and taking my daughter to the city’s beautiful parks, all made easy by Nagoya’s convenient public transportation. Let’s explore the flavors and hidden gems of Nagoya together!
