Nagoya is the principal city of the Tokai area. A first time visitor to Nagoya may be appalled by the number of skyscrapers, the traffic congestion, and the number of people walking on the street. He or she will also be amazed at the vastness of the underground shopping centers around Nagoya Station--including Unimall, Terumina, Meichika, and Sun Road. The size of this underground complex with its restaurants, boutiques, and gift shops, ranks as the biggest in Japan. Another pride of the Nagoyaites is the broad streets. The 100-meter wide Hisaya and the Wakamiya Boulevards intersecting at city center, offers some relief of sunshine and green from the looming skyscrapers and also a relief of trees, benches, fountains, and sculptures. This is one manifestation of the city's self determined policy to become known as the "City of Design." This policy has made Nagoya into one of the most beautiful cities in Japan.
