For the Nagoya area, Inuyama castle takes the cake.

I thought about that one as well. As I'd have a full day there, a 30-45min train ride isn't too bad....

The Aquarium (One of, if not the best in Japan)

I thought about the Osaka aquarium, but this one could do as well...

JR is pretty useless in Nagoya - the subway and Meitetsu is the way to go. I have no clue about buses as I never use them - with Meitetsu and the subway you can usually get almost everywhere without a bus.
I`d recommend getting a Manaca pass for travel.

I'd heard that JR was useless there. The JR station was just a means to get there. Some other cities have a Tourist Information Center in the main train station, so that's why I asked. There seems to be a day pass for the subway for 740yen and I remember Kyoto TIC sold their version of it. I gather the Manaca is like Pasmo in Tokyo, but for one day, I don't know if I need it.
