Hisaya Odori Avenue and Park, Nagoya

Hisaya 艑dori Park was established post-World War II as a green urban oasis. This initiative by the city's mayor aimed to bring a refreshing expanse of greenery to the city's center, offering residents and visitors alike a serene retreat from the urban bustle. Stretching approximately 2 kilometers from north to south, the park serves as a central park for Nagoya, featuring an array of trees, water fountains, and contemporary art installations, including sculptures and other artistic expressions.

At the park's midpoint stands the iconic Nagoya TV Tower, a landmark that not only offers panoramic views of the city but also adds a distinctive architectural element to the park's landscape. The presence of the tower enhances the park's appeal, making it a focal point for both leisure and tourism.

Hisaya 艑dori Park is also a cultural hub, playing host to various events and festivals throughout the year. Among these, the annual Nagoya Festival is a highlight, drawing large crowds who come to enjoy the vibrant parades, traditional performances, and festive atmosphere. This event, along with the park's ongoing commitment to integrating art and nature, underscores Hisaya 艑dori Park's role as a dynamic and vital part of Nagoya's cultural and social life.
