Sakae Mori no Chikagai, Underground shopping center in Sakae District, Nagoya, Japan.

Sakae Mori no Chikagai is an underground shopping street in Sakae 3-chome, Naka-ku, Nagoya, managed by the Nagoya Transportation Development Organization. It runs beneath Nishiki-dori and Hisaya-odori and combines four sections: Sakae Chika (opened November 1957 above Sakae subway station), Sakae Naka-Minami (1965), Sakae Higashi (1969) and Sakae Kita. It links Sakae Station with the district's main commercial buildings and connects to Sakaechika, Central Park and Oasis 21.

Sakae Mori no Chikagai began in November 1957 as Sakae Chika, the district's first underground shopping street, built above Sakae Station of the new Higashiyama line. It grew in stages: Sakae Minami-Chu Chika opened in September 1965 and Sakae Higashi Chika in September 1969. Sakae Chika, opened in November 1969, connects to it so seamlessly that the two are hard to tell apart. Nagoya Transportation Development Organization manages it.

The corridors feature decorations and design elements inspired by forests and natural themes, showing how Japanese design brings nature into underground urban spaces.

Access is direct from Sakae Station, and multiple exits lead to the surface and nearby attractions. The underground setting provides shelter from weather and makes navigation straightforward with numbered street sections.

Each section follows a numbered street naming system with six distinct areas: Kita Ichiban-gai, Kita Ni Ban-gai, Chuo Ichiban-gai, Minami Ichiban-gai, Minami Ni Ban-gai, and Minami San Ban-gai. This organized system helps visitors remember where they are and locate shops easily.
