 Nagoya-shi

With more than two million inhabitants, Nagoya (名古屋) is the fourth most populous city in Japan. It is the capital of Aichi Prefecture and the main city of the Nobi Plain, one of Honshu's three great plains and metropolitan and industrial centers.

Nagoya developed as the castle town of the Owari, one of the three branches of the Tokugawa ruling family during the Edo period. Much of the city, including most of its historic buildings, was destroyed by the air raids of 1945. Toyota Motor Corporation keeps its headquarters out of Nagoya.
