Sakae, Nagoya
Sakae (栄) is an area in Naka-ku, Nagoya, Aichi, Japan. It refers to the areas around Sakae intersection, Sakae Station on the Nagoya Municipal Subway and Sakae Station on the Meitetsu Seto Line. Sakae is in the heart of Nagoya and is, along with Nagoya Station, one of Nagoya's main commercial districts.
Shogun Tokugawa Ieyasu founded Nagoya in 1612 as a grid-planned castle town after relocating the Owari clan's ancestral seat from Kiyosu to Nagoya, also known as the "Kiyosu-goshi".
The Great Manji Fire of 1660, which destroyed half of the castle town, is when the name Hirokoji, or "widened small street", first appeared. The Horikiri road (Hisaya-cho to Choja-machi), which runs along the southern boundary of the grid, has been enlarged from 5 meters to 27 meters. Hirokoji-dori, the hub of entertainment and recreation, would be crowded with people on festival days.
Hirokoji-dori, which connects Nagoya Station to the lively, central Sakae neighborhood during the Meiji era, was the primary thoroughfare.
The Sakae district is formed around the Sakae intersection Otsu-dori going north–south and Hirokōji-dori going east–west. It is the main shopping district of Nagoya, along with Nagoya Station and its immediate vicinity.
Parallel to Otsu-dori is Hisaya-Ōdori; this road runs from Yaba-cho to Sakae except for Sotobori-dori, which is maintained as Hisaya Ōdori Park. Popular events are held in this park on the weekend.
Also, inside Hisaya-odori Park is the 180-meter Nagoya TV Tower, built in 1954, which is often mentioned as a symbol of Nagoya. At night, the tower is lit and can be seen all over Sakae. Adjacent to the tower is a large facility called Oasis 21, which has restaurants, stores, and a bus terminal. Adjacent to Oasis 21 is the major cultural facility Aichi Fine Arts Center, which contains facilities such as Aichi Fine Art Museum and Aichi Performing Arts Theater.
The department stores Matsuzakaya, Maruei Sakae, and Mitsukoshi are known as the 3M of Nagoya (or 4M if Meitetsu Department Store is included). Large shopping facilities such as Yaba-cho Parco, Nadya Park, and Lachic, among others, extend to the adjacent area known as Yaba-cho. In recent years, high-end luxury import brand stores as have been increasing along Otsu-dori, making it one of the country's foremost brand store areas. Along with those, the number of high-end furniture and home interior stores has been increasing. There is a Noritake branch here.
