Experience the Thrill of MEIEKI QUEST

This summer, from July 29 to September 1, 2026, the Nagoya Station area will come alive with an interactive event called MEIEKI QUEST. Organized by the Central Japan Railway Company (JR Tokai) in collaboration with JR Nagoya Takashimaya, this event turns the bustling urban environment of Nagoya into a playground filled with adventures and challenges.
