The last couple of messages were about Nagoya CITY, not Aichi or Tokai area. I'm sure you got that MASAEGU. Please read again if not.
Aichi? Gifu? Mie?
Please keep in mind that we are trying to help someone who's never been to Japan, does not speak the language and has only 3-4days.

Noone said Nagoya does not have a great history. Authenticity and History are not the same by meaning, by definition or any other context. Please look it up if you have any doubts.
We were simply talking about tourists visiting Japan.
So MASAEGU, as a tourist - not as a foreigner who's been living in Japan for 40 years - tell me, what would be GREAT to see in Nagoya area!?
Before you answer again to something completely different let me define tourist:
- someone who's generally interested in Japan
- someone who does not live in Japan
- someone who probably does NOT speak Japanese
- someone who has a limited time to experience Japan
Before you jump on someone please do check the original question.
Tourist, first time in Japan, has 3-4days; asking for help where to go, what to see... and you keep saying that Nagoya is a great place!?
Instead of protecting something that noone actually attacked (we all agree that Nagoya is a great city to
live in); try to be helpful and give
MorningFlash... some ideas what to do in Nagoya... 'cause honestly, Planetarium and Aquarium are just "ludicrous".
Nyororin;
1) "plenty to see"... where would you send (!!NOT take!!) your friend in Nagoya who has only 3-4 days and does not speak Japanese? /the answer is for MorningFlash.../
2) "plenty to see"... where would you TAKE your friend in Nagoya, who has only 3-4 days? /this answer would be for me/
Thank you both for helping out MorningFlash...

Dear MorningFlash...
sorry for this.
I still believe that though Nagoya is a great city but not a tourist friendly city.
As my last message to you; I honestly think that you can get much more out of Tokyo or Kyoto in that 3-4days that you have in Japan.
Good luck and take care!
