Nagoya with its population of over two million is
the core-city of Japan's midlands and has flourished since the Edo-era
as one of the major cities following Edo (present-day Tokyo), Osaka
and Kyo (present-day Kyoto). Aiming to be an international city,
Nagoya is sister cities with Los Angeles and Sydney, and has been
actively hosting international events. The '77 Men's tournament
was held here for the first time and since then Nagoya has hosted
the World Cup five times. This year's invitation will be the sixth
- the women's tournament will be the third consecutive year. The
Nagoya Rainbow Hall is well known as the competition site for the
Nagoya Tournament in Sumo and it is easily accessible from Nagoya
Station (10-minute travel by train).
