What you have to see if you come to Japan in 2021. Central Japan's newest spots in 2020.

Central Japan has undergone a quiet renewal, with many new and interesting attractions coming to completion. We have put together a list of some great places to visit.

Sight of Reversible Destiny - Yoro Park: A popular tourist attraction on or offline

About an hour's drive from Nagoya is a fun art theme park called the Sight of Reversible Destiny - Yoro Park. The avant-garde art buildings and uneven roads make it feel like stepping into an upside-down world that tests your sense of balance.

Hamamatsu: Cuisine, culture, and a beautiful gate on the sea

Centrip Japan has a 3-day 2-night course with Hamamatsu as your base. It makes use of the discount train tickets provided by the HAMANAKO RAIL PASS. So get ready to enjoy the dunes and eat some famous Hamamatsu gyoza (dumplings)!

Miidera: Famous autumn leaves with a view of Lake Biwa

Miidera Temple is located in Otsu City, the capital of Shiga Prefecture. Although it straddles the border between two prefectures, Kyoto and Otsu is only about 10 kilometers apart, and a 10-minute train ride will get you there.

Inuyama: Four Photogenic Places to Wear Kimono!

Inuyama, reached by train in less than 30 minutes from Nagoya Station, is an Edo-inspired sightseeing area with a quaint old town and has become an Internet hotspot because of the Love Ema (wooden wooden placard) Shrine. In beautiful Inuyama, many girls put on lovely kimonos and walk around the old town, taking pictures among the cute and unique atmosphere.
