Sony Creative Products has announced that it is set to open the first Nagoya branch of the PEANUTS Cafe inside Hisaya-odori Park this autumn.
What is the PEANUTS Cafe?
PEANUTS Cafe first opened in Nakameguro in 2015. This was followed by Cafe Blanket which opened inside Roppongi’s limited-time Snoopy Museum in 2016, both of which closed in September 2018. Then came the PEANUTS DINER which opened in the Minato Mirai area of Yokohama in 2017, and 2018 saw the grand opening of the 18-room PEANUTS HOTEL in Kobe in 2018. Last year, the Snoopy Museum was moved to Minami-Machida in Tokyo where another PEANUTS Cafe opened. The new PEANUTS Cafe Nagoya will be the first to open in the Tokai region of Japan.
The PEANUTS Cafe is an American west coast-style cafe based on the Peanuts comics by Charles M. Schulz. Customers can enjoy food, drinks, and desserts inspired by familiar faces from the comics like Snoopy and Woodstock. The cafe even has its own merchandise corner with exclusive items. The new Nagoya branch too will have merchandise available only in Nagoya.
Join Snoopy and his friends when PEANUTS Cafe Nagoya opens this autumn.

Nagoya Castle to Hold Special Autumn Night Art Viewing for a Limited Time
The historic Nagoya Castle will hold a special nighttime viewing event for 14 days only, from November 25 until December 8, 2022. During this period, Honmaru Palace will be open to the public at night, and the Chrysanthemum Corridor inside will be open to visitors for the first time.
The Ninomaru Garden will also be illuminated and will transport guests to a different place and time by showing a space only possible during dark hours.Inspired by the relationship between light and shadow, this event focuses on changes that occur over time and the creation and emergence of new ideas and things.
Honmaru Palace, Typically Closed to the Public, to be Open at Night
Nagoya Castle’s Honmaru Palace was completed in 1615 and served as the primary residence of the Lord of the Owari Domain and as the Domain’s government office. The interior of the palace was lavishly decorated with paintings and other art pieces and was praised as a masterpiece. Sadly, it was destroyed by an air raid in 1945. Restoration work began in 2009 and was completed in 2018 with unparalleled accuracy. The Honmaru Palace gives off a completely different aura at night.
First Public Viewing of the Jodan-no-ma in the Joraku-den
The Joraku-den was added to Nagoya Castle to accommodate the third Shogun, Iemitsu, on his way to Kyoto. It is the most luxurious of all the Honmaru Palace buildings, and this event marks the first time that the Chrysanthemum Corridor on the north side will be open to the public. Visitors are welcome to admire the golden-blue paintings as they stroll through the historic site.
See Spectacular Paintings when Entering the Tsugi-no-ma Room
During this period, visitors can enter the Tsugi-no-ma room to view classical period paintings, giving a more clear idea of how people acted and dressed during this time in history.
[Ninomaru Garden Special Viewing]
~Witness a Never-Before-Seen Feudal Lord’s Garden through a Spacial Presentation~
Scenography for this unique show was provided by the creative label PERIMETRON. In order to show another side of the Ninomaru Garden at night, the company focused on light’s characteristics, from reflection and transmission to refraction and absorption. Light and shadow intertwine in various ways, and guests will be transfixed by this curious showing.
