Hello!

As you can imagine, many people visiting this subreddit are tourists, and many of these people have the same or similar questions. The regular contributors to this sub are generous and friendly people, but repeatedly answering the same questions or giving the same recommendations can get a bit tiring. While this subreddit is open to tourists, not only residents, we do ask you to put in a bit of effort on your own as well before posting here.

To help you get the best answer and keep our community's contributions fresh, please search the subreddit – and other tourist-focused subreddits such as /r/JapanTravelTips – prior to posting a question that has likely already been asked in the recent past. https://www.japan-guide.com/ is also a great site to help you plan your Japan trip.

Finally, looking at recent posts on the front page and the links in the sidebar can be a good way to get recommendations and info as to what's going on in our city and surrounding area.

Thank you, and welcome to Nagoya!

Some assistance with help picking a long term stay location; Nagoya vs suburbs

9 Upvotes

Hello, I will be attending a seminar for roughly two months in the Nagoya area and am debating if I should take the housing arrangement that is being offered or if I should find my own lodging.

The seminar will be in Owariasahi and the housing would be a shared dorm style with two other people assigned to the dorm (private bedroom but shared bathroom/kitchen) near Imba station

However a friend of mine has a relative who is willing to rent me a small apartment in Nagoya's Atsuta Ward for roughly the whole duration, I believe he said it's near Tokaidori station.

While I'm not really keen on sharing a bathroom and kitchen the money I'd save would be enough for a weekend get-away but Im leaning more towards staying in Nagoya. I'm in my mid-thirties and I'd still like to be able to go out and enjoy Japanese culture and food and i'm just worried that staying in Owariasahi I'd just be taking the train into the city to do things after the seminar and on the weekends since that was my experience when I lived in the suburbs in college in the US, there just wasn't really much to do in the suburbs.

Im really interested in local food and chances to experience things that aren't 'touristy'. Maybe hitting up an Izakaya or a local food spot before dropping my stuff off and hitting a sento/super sento after the gym; I also like to just wander around and see what I run into.

I'm just curious what people local to the area would say about these areas.

Thanks

Rugby or Baseball ....

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone! We're visiting from the EU and have never watched a rugby or baseball game before. We're planning to stay for a few days and would love to catch one of these sports, probably at Toyota Stadium.

Which one would you recommend for a better overall experience and atmosphere? Also, where is the best place to buy tickets, and which seats/sections should we look for to spend a great afternoon? Thanks

Help Looking for safe indoor places for minors

11 Upvotes

Hi everyone!! I’m looking for information about free or low-cost indoor places in Nagoya where someone under 18 can safely spend time if their home environment isn’t safe.

(This isn’t something I can realistically resolve through the police, and I’m also a foreigner, so I don’t have many local adult connections. So plz don’t direct me to any hotlines T-T)

I’m not looking for someone to offer me a place to stay. I’m looking for official services or community spaces, like safe indoor places (public or privately operated) where it’s okay to spend several hours, especially during mornings, evenings, weekends, or holidays when youth centers may be closed.

I know about a youth center’s “moi-moi” space in Masaki, but the website says it doesn’t open until 2 p.m. and is closed on weekends.

This is hopefully temporary. Once I start school, I’ll be able to start working, which will hopefully keep me out of the house as much as possible. Until then, I’d really appreciate any recommendations.

Thank you!!!!

Event Marvel Fans, can we plan to watch Spiderman (english movie) together in Nagoya ?

4 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I'm looking for fellow Marvel fans in or around Nagoya who'd be interested in watching the upcoming Spider-Man movie (English audio) together when it releases.

Thought it could be fun to get a small group together, grab some food or coffee before or after the movie, and geek out over Marvel theories, the MCU, Spider-Verse, and whatever surprises the movie has in store.

Whether you're a longtime comic fan or just enjoy the movies, you're welcome!

If enough people are interested, we can create a group chat and decide on:

  • Cinema (Midland Square, Aeon Cinema, etc.)
  • Date and time
  • Dinner or coffee afterwards

Drop a comment or send me a DM if you'd like to join. Let's assemble, Nagoya!

Help In need of a job, preferably one that involves illustration or English proficiency.

8 Upvotes

(Apologies if this isn't the right place to post this.)

I've recently been let go from my previous job in Sakae, and I've been in search of a job, preferably one where my skills can be put to use. I'm an illustrator/mangaka, and I'm fluent in both, English and Japanese.

I also have experiences working as an interpreter/translator, as well as in customer support (my previous job).

I've been sending applications, and I figured I might as well ask here too to see if there are any local opportunities as well, since I live right outside of Nagoya. I'd appreciate if anyone could give me any advices or insights on where to look, or better yet, a gig.

Thank you for reading, and I hope that you guys all have a good remainder of the day!

Any way to get Sumo tournament tickets July 15th?

0 Upvotes

I am a dummy and purchased tickets for the 14th .. we just showed up at the arena and realized our mistake. Is there any possible way to get tickets for today? We specifically took the train in from Tokyo and are leaving tonight at 8pm :/

Also, I am desperate and would be willing to pay an absurd amount, or trade one of my kidneys or corneas, for 3 tickets.

Please help 🙏🏻
