Where can I take a nice jog in Nagoya?

A run around history

You might of heard of Kin-shachi if you have visited Nagoya.
The Kin-shachi or the golden dolphin is known for the symbol of Nagoya.

Where does this Kin-shachi come from?
There is actually two and they proudly sit on top of the the Nagoya castle.

The Nagoya castle is known for one of the well places to site seeing when coming to Nagoya.
There is a 500 yen entry fee. Many old artifacts inside the castle and can go all the way to the top.

Now, this is not all. You don't have to pay 500 yen to enjoy Nagoya castle.
On the North side of the castle there is a park.
Great place for Hanami, lots of green, family's take kids there, and also has a nice running track on the outer rim of the park.

If you are into keeping shape and want to run where there is lots of green with in the city. Recommend Nagoya Castle's park.
