Nagoya, Heartland of the Samurai

Samurai culture’s origins are uniquely concentrated in this area! Aichi is rich in cultural heritage, as the birthplace of all three of Japan's greatest heroes –
Oda Nobunaga, Toyotomi Hideoyishi, and Tokugawa Ieyasu. Every Japanese, young or old, is familiar with these three warlords who successfully unified Japan and began the Shogunate era.
