Week 34: H

HISAYA-OODORI PARK. Located in the middle of the city, Hisaya-oodori Park offers a few moments of tranquility.

Poor Nagoya. One of their few big tourist attractions is the TV Tower located in the park.

Right across from the park you can find the futuristic Oasis 21, part bus station and part shopping mall.

HARBOR: The Nagoya Port features a ship that has actually been to Antarctica (the orange ship in the picture). Other than the Red Lobster in the background of the second photo, though, it doesn't have much to offer.

HOT and HUMID: I'm very worried about the summer months: "Nagoya, situated on a broad flood plain on the southern coast of central Honshu, is well known for its hot and humid summers, with the heat lasting from July to mid-September."

HORTICULTURE: The Bluebonnet Garden, a short ferry ride across from Nagoya Port, featured some lovely wilflowers.

HAPPY (early) May Day!
