Meichika, Underground city in Nagoya, Japan
Meichika extends beneath Nagoya streets with multiple interconnected passages containing retail spaces, restaurants, and public gathering areas spanning several blocks.
The construction of Meichika began during Japan's economic growth period, when urban planners developed underground infrastructure to maximize limited city space.
The underground complex features seasonal exhibitions of Japanese arts and hosts regular food festivals showcasing regional specialties from across the country.
Multiple entrance points connect directly to Nagoya train stations, providing shelter from rain and offering temperature-controlled walkways throughout the year.
The engineering design incorporates natural light wells and advanced ventilation systems that maintain fresh air circulation through the subterranean network.
