This is page is rather unpretensious. It has mainly two big goals: first, to be a source of information for students who are considering to come to Nagoya area to pursue their studies, and second, to introduce the Brazilian students already conducting their research and studies here.
The main sightseeing spots are the Castle of Nagoya (reconstructed after the Second World War), and the Nagoya Port Aquarium. Although Nagoya is not in the standard suggested circuit for tourists, it is conveniently located two hours far from Tokyo (by shinkansen, the super express train) and one hour from Osaka-Kyoto-Nara, being a possible destination for those with not so tight schedules. For those planning to spend longer times, it should be said that life cost in Nagoya is considerably cheaper than other major cities, the urban stress is lower, and at the same time one may be able to enjoy all the benefits and attractions of a big city.
Nagoya area concentrates a large number of universities and colleges, some of them known all over the world. Below, you can find a list of links to the home pages of some of the institutions:
