Minato Ward in Nagoya City is home to Nagoya Port, one of Japan's leading maritime gateways. The area combines industry and agriculture, utilizing the port, and rice production is also thriving. Urban development has been undertaken that makes the most of the port, with the ward home to an Antarctic-themed aquarium and museum, demonstrating the ward's close ties to the port. A major tourist attraction is the Sun Beach Nikkogawa swimming pool, located in the west of the ward, boasting one of the largest pools in Japan. There's also a barbecue garden where you can enjoy the greenery, perfect for the whole family. In recent years, the Isewan Expressway has opened, and its beautifully illuminated bridge has earned it a reputation for its appeal.
