Nagoya in Summer

Nagoya is by no means a pretty city in summer. Number one in Pachinko (gambling parlors) and coffee shops, Nagoya is a city of cheap pleasures with scanty nature. However, we do have a large port where the ocean meets the land and the wind blows. There is also a large and historic castle with pleasant surrounds. And downtown has a tower imitating the Eiffel Tower with a long but narrow belt of greenery. And today I rediscovered a lovely little temple between my house and Kanayama. There are pockets of beauty throughout Nagoya if one find the time and eye to look!
