Nagoya
The main Meitetsu Department Store, a landmark at Nagoya Station, permanently closed on Saturday after 71 years. The closure forms part of a redevelopment plan for the Nagoya Station area, led by its parent company, Nagoya Railroad. However, the plan was put on hold last December, leaving the timeline for demolition and reconstruction uncertain.
