Best Time to Visit

Best Time to Visit

The best time to visit Nagoya is spring and autumn. In spring, the cherry blossoms (Sakura), make the city the perfect place for a romantic getaway. In Autumn, the main streets are all coloured in red, orange, and yellow. The 'maple hunting' (momijigari) makes it a true delight to explore. Avoid June and July, which are considered to be the rainiest months, and also notoriously hot and humid. Some interesting events throughout the year: - January: Coming of Age Day (Seijin no hi) - March: Dolls Festival (Hinamatsuri) - April: Flower viewing (Hanami) - November: Seven-five-three (Shichi go san) - October: Nagoya Festival (Nagoya Matsuri)

Taxi

Taxi

Taxis can be hailed anywhere around Nagoya, but as many Japanese taxi drivers don't speak English, it is highly recommended, unless you speak Japanese, to have the address in writing. While ride-sharing apps like Uber do operate in Nagoya, their presence is not as dominant as traditional taxis. Uber is often more expensive and less ubiquitous compared to the extensive taxi network. For a more seamless experience, tourists might opt for readily accessible taxis, which can be easily flagged down on the streets or found at designated taxi stands.

Post

Post

In Nagoya, post offices generally operate from 9am to 5pm on weekdays and 9am to 12:30pm on Saturdays, while remaining closed on Sundays and public holidays, though larger branches may offer extended hours. These post offices provide a variety of services including mail and parcel delivery, ATM access, and money transfers. They also sell stamps, postcards, and packaging materials, and offer express mail services. Recognising a post office is straightforward thanks to the distinctive red '〒' symbol and the red and white colour scheme that adorn their buildings.
