==History==
{{Refimprove|section|date=November 2009}}
 
(The Japanese names in this section are written with the family name first. For example, in the name Oda Nobunaga, the family name is Oda.)
 
[[Oda Nobunaga]] and his proteges [[Toyotomi Hideyoshi]] and [[Tokugawa Ieyasu]] were powerful warlords based in the Nagoya area who gradually succeeded in unifying Japan.
 
In [[1610]], Tokugawa Ieyasu moved the capital of [[Owari province]] from Kiyosu around seven kilometers to a more strategic location in present-day Nagoya. The city's name was historically written as 那古野(read as ''Nagoya'').
 
[[Nagoya Castle]], a new, large castle, was constructed partly from materials taken from [[Kiyosu Castle]]. During the construction, the entire town of around 60,000 people, including the temples and shrines, moved from Kiyosu to the new, planned town around Nagoya Castle.<ref>{{cite web |title=Kiyosu Castle |url=http://www.city.kiyosu.aichi.jp/en/sightseeing01.html |accessdate=2007-05-01}}</ref> Around the same time not far away, the ancient [[Atsuta Shrine]] was designated as a way station called Miya (the Shrine) on the important [[Tōkaidō (road)|Tōkaidō]], a road that linked the two capitals of [[Kyoto]] and [[Edo]] (now Tokyo). A town thus developed around the temple to support travelers. The combination of these two castle and shrine towns forms what we now call Nagoya.
 
Through the following years Nagoya became an industrial hub for the surrounding region. Its economic sphere included the famous [[Japanese pottery|pottery]] towns [[Tokoname, Aichi|Tokoname]], [[Tajimi, Gifu|Tajimi]] and [[Seto, Aichi|Seto]], as well as [[Okazaki, Aichi|Okazaki]], one of the only places where [[gunpowder]] was produced under the shogunate. Other industries in the area included [[cotton]] and complex mechanical dolls called ''[[karakuri ningyo]]''.
 
Part of the modernization efforts of the [[Meiji Restoration]] saw a restructuring of Japan's provinces into prefectures and the government changed from family rule to that by government officials. Nagoya was proclaimed a city on October 1, 1889, and designated a city on September 1, 1956 by [[City designated by government ordinance|government ordinance]].
 
Nagoya was the target of U.S. air raids during [[World War II]], beginning on December 13, 1944 with an attack on a [[Mitsubishi]] war industries plant. The [[bombing of Nagoya in World War II]] continued through the spring of 1945, and included large scale firebombing. [[Nagoya Castle]], which was being used as a military command post, was hit and mostly destroyed on May 14, 1945.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.bookmice.net/darkchilde/japan/war6.html|title=Incendiary Bombing of Japan}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://books.google.com/books?id=nucrbGjY_GoC&pg=PA200&lpg=PA200&dq=nagoya+bombing&source=bl&ots=9tlAhszPyD&sig=HD6F1I5ush1AN0iQ_XhZSt9Zpf4&hl=en&ei=S3o9S6OSNZWekQX0n_XvCA&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=10&ved=0CCAQ6AEwCTgK#v=onepage&q=nagoya%20bombing&f=false|title=Apocalypse Undone|author=Preston John Hubbard|publisher=Vanderbilt University Press|publication_date=1990|page=199}}</ref> Reconstruction of the main building was completed in 1959.
 
In 1959, the city was severely damaged by the [[Ise-wan Typhoon]].
 
==Sightseeing==
[[Image:Nagoya Castle(Edit2).jpg|thumb|left|[[Nagoya Castle]]]]
Nagoya's two most famous sightseeing spots are [[Nagoya Castle]] and [[Atsuta Shrine]].
 
[[Nagoya Castle]] was built in [[1612]]. Although a large part of it burned down in the fires of World War II, the castle was restored in 1959, adding some modern amenities such as elevators. The castle is very famous for two magnificent {{nihongo|Golden Orca|金の鯱|Kin no [[Shachihoko]]}} on the roof, often used as the symbol of Nagoya.
 
[[Atsuta Shrine]] is known as the second-most venerable shrine in Japan, after [[Ise Shrine]]. It is said to enshrine the [[Kusanagi]] sword, one of the three [[Japanese imperial regalia|imperial regalia]] of Japan, but it is not on display to the public. It holds around 70 festivals in a year, and many people visit the shrine year-round. Also, the shrine has over 4,400 [[national treasure]]s representing its 2,000 year history. It is currently (2009) undergoing restoration, and the main buildings are essentially completely concealed with protective sheets.
