Mizuho Ward in Nagoya City is divided into two areas. The western area is home to many factories and offices, as metal processing companies and precision industries are well developed. The eastern area is home to many old residential buildings and a number of traditional shopping streets. The Yamazaki River flows through the center of the ward, and is famous as a cherry blossom viewing spot, with the blossoms blooming in abundance and covering the river during the cherry blossom season. The ward is also home to a well-equipped educational environment, including Nagoya University, as well as numerous research institutions such as historical museums and ethnographic museums. Transportation is also well-maintained, so you will be able to spend your days without any inconvenience.
