名古屋の中川運河に新スポット誕生 ホテル･レストラン･スポーツなどが楽しめる｢NAKAGAWA CANAL DOORS｣ 6月18日開業 どんな施設？

On June 18th, "NAKAGAWA CANAL DOORS" will open in Nakagawa Ward, Nagoya City. Located at the northernmost end of the Nakagawa Canal, close to Nagoya Station, this new complex will include a hotel, restaurants, and sports facilities. (Announcer Koki Takigawa) "One of the notable stores is 'PAUL.' It seems to have a connection to Nagoya." Founded in 1889, the French bakery "PAUL" has over 840 stores in 54 countries worldwide, and 27 stores in Japan. This hugely popular store is opening in Nagoya for the first time in 15 years. They source their dough from France and offer "the same delicious taste as in France." The store's most popular item is the croissant! (Takigawa, Announcer) "Eating a PAUL croissant while looking out at the Nakagawa Canal...how elegant. The moment you put it in your mouth, the aroma of butter spreads." To provide "the same deliciousness as in France," the dough is imported from France, resulting in a texture that is crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. It's also characterized by its light flavor. Other popular items include "Pain Chocolat," a croissant dough filled with chocolate and baked, and "Canelé," a traditional French pastry. 35 years ago...the first overseas store was in Nagoya!? The background to this opening at "NAKAGAWA CANAL DOORS" lies in a deep connection with Nagoya from the past. (Junpei Kato, PAUL CANAL DOORS) "Originally, PAUL's first store outside of France was in Nagoya." 35 years ago, in 1991, the first store in Japan opened at Matsuzakaya Nagoya. After that, they continued operating in Nagoya, changing locations along the way, but their store in the Nagoya Station underground shopping area closed in 2010. Now, they've returned to Nagoya after 15 years. (Kato-san) "I've always wanted to open a store in my 'place of origin.' I'm happy that I've finally been able to open a store on the Nakagawa Canal after 15 years." From the opening day on the 18th, they will be selling a special opening commemorative set for three days only. It's a great value set that includes five types of bread, such as croissants, and a drink. Large Cafe Restaurant: What's the Must-Try Lunch? Next, we visited "CANALIA trattoria&cafe," a large cafe restaurant serving authentic Italian cuisine. We focused on their lunch menu. The "Charcoal-Grilled Hamburger Steak Lunch," made with brand-name beef from Awaji Island, is particularly noteworthy. (Takigawa Announcer) "It has a delicious aroma from being grilled over charcoal. The meat is juicy, and the more you chew, the more the flavor of the meat comes out." This is a masterpiece grilled over charcoal to concentrate the flavor of the lean meat. Other recommended dishes include pasta seasoned with local sake from the Chita Peninsula instead of white wine. You can enjoy it while overlooking the canal. A hotel where all rooms offer a panoramic view of the Nakagawa Canal (Takigawa Announcer) "Not only restaurants and cafes, but there are also hotels where you can enjoy a panoramic view of the Nakagawa Canal." The all-inclusive hotel "SETRE CANAL NAGOYA" is developed with the concept of "a landscape that will not change even after 100 years." Its affiliated hotels have been popular for their locations where guests can enjoy night views and waterfront scenery. SETRE CANAL NAGOYA, grand opening on the 18th, boasts a variety of attractions… The lounge space, where guests can enjoy light meals and drinks anytime, offers panoramic views of the Nakagawa Canal from its windows. Following its concept, all 24 rooms are positioned along the canal to allow guests to enjoy the waterside scenery. Guests can also enjoy the sauna, which features interior design using wood from Aichi Prefecture. And right next to the bathroom and sauna is a spacious terrace overlooking the canal. Guests can relax after their bath with a drink or ice cream. A one-night stay with two meals starts from 30,000 yen per adult. Enjoy a globally popular sport!? Nagoya's first permanent outdoor court NAKAGAWA CANAL DOORS also features Nagoya's first permanent outdoor court for "pickleball," an American sport that has become globally popular and enjoyable even for beginners. Furthermore, "Cruise Nagoya," which operates on the Nakagawa Canal, will launch a new route to coincide with the facility's opening. The route starts and ends at the facility, and takes visitors through a group of warehouses that retain the atmosphere of the early Showa period, as well as the Matsushige Lock Gate, a tangible cultural property designated by Nagoya City. (Toshiki Hayashi, Section Chief, Housing and Urban Development Bureau, Nagoya City) "Visitors can feel the history and enjoy an extraordinary boating experience on the waterfront. We hope this will contribute to revitalizing the area." The beginnings of the Nakagawa Canal, the "largest canal in the Orient"... Now, a little about the history of Nagoya's Nakagawa Canal... The Nakagawa Canal, which began operation i...
