Opinion:
I had travel in Nagoya in last year 2013, i really can't forget the environment of Japan, it is beautiful! Nagoya is a economic and busy city in Japan. The city is not duty and you will not seen anyone throw rubbish on the floor, and you will always see the recycle dustbin beside the walkway. In these two city, you will fresh air and full of culture of Japan. The places that I recommend at above are the famous places in Nagoya.
