Located in the core of central Japan, Aichi Prefecture fuses age-old traditions with modern innovation. Housing Japan's fourth-largest city, Nagoya, this dynamic district is a year-round destination, thanks to its four distinct seasons characterized by humid summers and moderately mild winters.

Aichi is deep-seated in samurai tradition and industrial fortitude, seeing as it is the founding place of Toyota and hosts the largest automotive industry in Japan. The local lifestyle harmonizes the conveniences of contemporary city life with fledged Japanese values. This harmony is apparent in everything from its preserved castles to its energetic shopping districts.

What distinguishes Aichi is its remarkable combination of technological progression and cultural protection. The region boasts of some of Japan's most significant historical locations, including Nagoya Castle and Okazaki Castle, all while spearheading the country's manufacturing innovation.

Food lovers will be in heaven with Aichi's distinct cuisine. Don't miss out on the famous miso-katsu (a breaded pork cutlet with miso sauce) and hitsumabushi (grilled eel served in a three-way eating ritual). The region's ceramic tradition in Seto and Tokoname offers visitors singular pottery experiences and shopping possibilities.

Make sure you visit the Toyota Commemorative Museum of Industry and Technology, where Japan's industrial revolution springs to life through interactive exhibits. The Oasis 21 complex situated in Nagoya, sporting its stunning "Spaceship-Aqua" roof, presents a perfect fusion of modern architecture and urban leisure. For nature enthusiasts, the Korankei Valley stages one of Japan's most breathtaking autumn foliage spectacles.
