The Port of Nagoya Public Aquarium is one of Japan's larger and better aquaria. Spread across two buildings are exhibits featuring marine mammals including dolphins, orca and beluga whales, and other marine creatures from five aquatic regions between Japan and the Antarctic Ocean. In addition to feeding and training shows, there are also three scheduled dolphin shows per day

The elegant cathedral was built in 1962 in a Gothic Revivalist architectural style. The spires reach a height of 50 meters and the belfries contain four large bells, two of which are rung every Sunday morning calling the faithful to masses, conducted mostly in Japanese, however for the large Philipino community regular Tagalog services and even English masses are celebrated. Since 1993 The Most Reverend Father Augustine Jun’ichi Nomura has served as Bishop of Nagoya, and often leads mass, which is particularly full at Christmas and Easter times.
