About 15 minutes east of Nagoya Station by subway.
Kakuozan is a popular sightseeing destination in Nagoya City, a step away from the noise of the city and a popular area to live.
Welcome to Kakuozan where you can experience the history and culture of Nagoya.
The area is on a small hill in the eastern part of Nagoya and has enjoyed fame for moon watching. With the establishment of Kakuozan Nittaiji Temple, the town developed in the style of Higashiyama in Kyoto, and many historical buildings such as temples and shrines still exist. The area acted as a back-room where Nagoya's businessmen gathered, Ryotei (Japanese-style restaurants), and villas, were built, as a result, while the arts took root in the culture of daily life.
Kakuozan's shopping street is where old traditions and new creators live and breathe in harmony, and a popular tourist area on the approach to Nittaiji Temple. The relaxed atmosphere of the town makes it one of the most popular places to live in Nagoya.
