The name Nagoya is derived from a famous manor in the 12th century called Nagono. The Nagono manor prospered until the middle of the fourteenth century and people continued to call the area “Nagono” long after it had gone. The Chinese characters used to write “Nagono” could also be read “Nagoya” which was later adopted as the city’s name.

Nagoya and its surrounding area is the center of Japan’s industrial sector. Its solidly based production focuses on automobiles, general machinery, metal products, ceramics, and electric appliances.
