I've looked into Nagoya a bit. I'd sure like to make a stop to see the castle. I could do it as a day trip from Tokyo as it's only a couple of hours each way. What do you recommend? I'm not there for shopping, as I can buy anything there elsewhere, really.

Do you recommend the Arimatsu area? How about the Osu area? Is it possible for you to name a few interesting points? Perhaps you can change my mind about it just being a stop on the Tokaido Shinkansen!

Would you recommend the day bus pass or the bus/train pass? Which mode of transport would be more useful? Also, is the TIC at JR Nagoya Eki?

I'll be in country for the Tagata Shrine Hounen Matsuri, which is the festival you mentioned, but I'll be in Osaka that day and I'll be headed west, not east. I don't think I'd want to be around for that either!
