Fushimi & Sakae Areas

Another of Nagoya’s popular downtown areas is the trendier shopping and business region, Sakae. The northern parts of Sakae feature Nagoya’s famed landmark TV Tower, and the vibrant Oasis 21 venue, with its many stylish cafes and shops.
In between Sakae and Nagoya Station is the Fushimi area, which, compared to Nagoya Station and Sakae, is a more intimate area. Fushimi is home to the world’s biggest planetarium, the 35m wide Brother Earth Planetarium, part of the Nagoya City Science Museum. Beside it is the Nagoya City Museum of Art located in a tranquil park. Nagoya’s Misonoza, where Kabuki and other cultural performances are held, is also in Fushimi, along with many popular gourmet spots.
