What is Cruise Nagoya?
The Nakagawa Canal was once called the grandest canal in the East. It has contributed greatly to Nagoya's economic development as a water transportation and logistics artery. "Cruise Nagoya" was launched in 2017 to revitalize the Nakagawa Canal and create a lively atmosphere at the Port of Nagoya.
The cruise connects the "city center" of Nagoya with the "port area" and allows passengers to enjoy unusual views of Nagoya, such as "Sasashima Live" overlooking the buildings of Nagoya Station, the "Nakagawa-guchi Tsutenmon" where you can experience the Panama Canal, traditional warehouses, and large ships coming and going at the Port of Nagoya.
