What Wikivoyage says to see
Nagakute is known for being the site of the 2005 World Expo. The Expo site is a large park area; it was returned almost entirely to the natural state that existed before the Expo in agreement to the "nature" theme of the Expo, and large portions of it are now in turn being converted into the Ghibli Park (below).
