One of the biggest attractions in Nagoya is the Tokugawa Art Museum, or at least so the guidebook said. The museum displays various objects that once belonged to one of the branches of the Tokugawa family, the family that ruled Japan for 250 years. The entrance fee is ¥1200, which is quite hefty. I think you need to have a special interest to find it worth money. I didn't. Attached to the museum there is a Japanese garden, that's always something. But the museum is not exactly in downtown, and the garden alone was not worth the detour. But since I was there, you will get some pictures from the garden. (There are no pictures from the museum itself, as it was not permitted to take photos there.)
