Around Nagoya Station

Here are some pictures taken around Nagoya station.















The above picture shows JR Central Towers, which house business offices, restaurants, a famous department store (i.e., JR Nagoya Takashimaya) and a prestigious hotel (i.e., the Nagoya Marriott Associa Hotel), with Shinkansen (Bullet Train) tracks on its front. This is taken from the backyard of Nagoya Station, where you can find reasonably-priced business hotels and entertainment businesses like the one in the picture below.




















At this place, you can view “Adult Video” DVDs. It advertises that viewers can enjoy the whole selection of these available DVDs and that the shower facility is furnished in the store. Interestingly, it is located next to Yoshinoya, a famous franchised beef-bowl restaurant. In Japan, these places are not secluded in a shady area on the street.




















The above picture  shows one of the popular meeting places in Nagoya. The large statue called "Nana Chan" (her name is Nana), which stands upright supporting the roof of the shopping arcade, now wears a banner of the clearance sale in January. She changes her outfits as season changes. For instance, around Christmas time, she wears Santa Claus’s costume. You can walk under her spread legs. Interesting, huh?
