Nagoya railway station is a central hub station for the whole of Japan and holds the world record as the largest railway station in the world - it covers 101 acres!

Naturally I went to Nagoya castle. It dates back to the 1600's and whilst the castle remains (although it's undergoing renovation) the palace that lies within was burned down during WW2. Renovation of Hommaru Palace took 4 years and was finished in 2013. It is easy to see why the renovation took so long given the level of detail that has been achieved. The woodwork here is exquisite and I will have to come back here again to see more of it.
