Showa Ward is a lively area in Nagoya. It has a mix of old and new.
Long ago, this area was mostly farmland. But in 1937, it became Showa Ward. The name “Showa” comes from the Showa era, a time when Japan changed a lot. Many universities and schools came to Showa Ward, like Chukyo University and Nagoya University (part of it is in Showa Ward). This made the ward a place for learning and new ideas.
Today, Showa Ward is busy! You can visit Tsuruma Park. It is a big park with a beautiful rose garden and a library. Many people go there for walks. In spring, a big event is the Tsuruma Park Cherry Blossom Festival. People enjoy looking at the beautiful pink cherry blossoms, and at night, the trees have special lights. There are also food trucks and even a beer garden during this time! Later in the year, around May and June, Tsuruma Park also holds a Rose Festival, where many colorful roses bloom. You can also sometimes see street performers in the park, which is fun to watch.
Another famous place is Gokiso. It is a central area with many shops and restaurants. You can eat delicious Japanese food there, like ramen and sushi. There are also smaller, quiet streets where people live. While Gokiso itself doesn’t have big annual festivals like Tsuruma Park, it is always a bustling place with local community events and small markets happening throughout the year.
The culture in Showa Ward is friendly and energetic. Because of the universities, many young people live here. They bring new energy. But also, many families live here, and they keep traditional Japanese customs alive. For example, you can see people wearing kimonos for special events, and local festivals happen throughout the year. Showa Ward is a great place to experience modern Japanese life with a touch of history!
