Funairi-chō, Nagoya

Funairi-chō (船入町) is a historic neighbourhood located in the Naka ward of Nagoya, central Japan.

It was one of the merchant areas, located close to the Hori Canal and south of Nagoya Castle. The translation means a "ship entering town". The area was heavily damaged during the bombing of Nagoya in World War II, with a large number of merchant houses destroyed and persons perished.

One of the traditional merchant houses that survived from there is the Tōmatsu House (東松家住宅 , Tōmatsu-ka jūtaku), which was constructed in 1901 and relocated to the Meiji-mura museum in the 1970s. It has been designated by the government as an Important Cultural Property.
