~Now That the Crowds Have Thinned Out: A Relaxing Trip to Nagoya~

Once Japan’s long Golden Week (GW) holiday ends, the streets of Nagoya settle down a bit.
In fact, this

is

actually a highly recommended time for sightseeing.

The crowds at popular spots have thinned out, making this the perfect season to experience the “real Nagoya” and take your time soaking in the local atmosphere.

In this article, we’ll introduce “ways to enjoy Nagoya right after Golden Week” specifically for international travelers.

① Take a Leisurely Tour of Famous Landmarks

During Golden Week, everywhere is packed with people, and it can even be difficult to take photos.
However, right after Golden Week, the crowds have thinned out,

making it

the best time for sightseeing.

We especially recommend
[Nagoya Castle]

It is Nagoya’s most iconic tourist spot, and the golden “Shachihoko” is extremely popular with international visitors.

After Golden Week, the area around the main keep is easier to walk around, and you can quietly enjoy the views of the Japanese garden

.

If you want to take photos, we recommend going in the morning.
Nagoya Castle looks absolutely beautiful in the soft morning light.

② Enjoy Nagoya’s Culinary Delights Without Waiting in Line

When

you

think of Nagoya, you think of “Nagoya-meshi.”

Long lines form at popular restaurants during Golden Week, but it’s relatively easier to get a seat after Golden Week ends.

Here are the Nagoya delicacies you definitely shouldn’t miss.

  • Miso Katsu
  • Hitsumabushi
  • Chicken Wings
  • Taiwan Ramen
  • Spaghetti with Thick Sauce

“Hitsumabushi” is particularly popular among foreign tourists.

It’s a quintessentially Japanese dish that lets you enjoy a variety of flavors from a single serving—whether you eat the eel as is or enjoy it tea-soaked.

If you pop into a local shop on a whim, you might discover a hidden gem not listed in any guidebook.

③ Experience “Ordinary Daily Life” in Japan

During Golden Week, there are many events geared toward tourists, so the sense of everyday life in Japan fades a bit.

But in Nagoya after Golden Week,

  • commuters
  • students heading home from school
  • quiet cafes
  • local supermarkets
  • shopping streets going about their usual business

and more—you can experience the “real Japan.”

In fact, quite a few foreign travelers say,
“I prefer seeing everyday life in Japan over tourist spots

,

”

.
Just taking a leisurely stroll through the Sakae or Osu areas lets you soak up the unique atmosphere of Japanese streets.

In particular,
Osu Shopping District
is highly recommended.

It’s a fascinating neighborhood where traditional Japanese culture blends with anime and gaming culture.

④ The Perfect Season for Café Hopping

May, right after Golden Week,

is

a very pleasant time to be in Nagoya.

It’s neither too hot nor too cold—the perfect season for enjoying outdoor seating.

If you want to enjoy Japan’s café culture,

  • matcha sweets
  • Japanese-style cafes
  • Showa-era retro cafes
  • Morning set

be sure to give them a try

.

‍

Nagoya is famous for its “morning set” culture.
At many shops, if you order coffee in the morning, you’ll get toast and eggs for free

.

‍

This is a culture that’s quite unique even within Japan, so it’s especially popular with foreign travelers.

⑤ We also recommend venturing a little further to enjoy nature

The season after Golden Week is when the fresh greenery is at its most beautiful.

We recommend visiting not only Nagoya City but also the surrounding areas.

For example,

  • the Inuyama area
  • Korankei
  • The Kiso River area
  • the Ise area

and more.

Since traveling by train is convenient, it’s easy to take day trips.

The natural scenery typical of early summer in Japan is a charm unique to this season

.

While

not as famous as cherry blossom season, you can enjoy the beautiful green landscapes of Japan.

Summary

You can enjoy the “real Nagoya” right after Golden Week

While the bustling tourism during Golden Week is fun,
there is a different charm after Golden Week.

  • Fewer crowds
  • Easier to take photos
  • You can soak up the local atmosphere
  • You can enjoy a leisurely meal
  • You can experience everyday life in Japan

Nagoya isn’t as crowded with tourists as Tokyo or Kyoto, making it the perfect city for foreign travelers to enjoy a “just-right Japanese experience.”
