Areas: the 16 wards of Nagoya that Wikidata records as a ward of Japan located in the city. Places to stay are not assigned by boundary: each is counted in the area whose centre is nearest, and only when it is within that area's reach (twice the radius of a circle the size of the area where Wikidata gives its size, otherwise 1.5 km) and no nearer the centre of a neighbouring town in this guide; 66 places to stay are counted this way. Sights are counted the same way. Main sights: the 10 sights in these areas covered by the most Wikipedia language editions. Stations: railway and metro stations in Wikidata. All distances are straight-line from the area's centre point; on foot or by road they are longer.
Restaurants, cafes and bars: as mapped in OpenStreetMap, counted in the area whose centre is nearest, the same way as the places to stay.
