Gamagōri was connected to Nagoya by railway in 1888 and became one of Meiji Japan most fashionable seaside destinations where industrialists and diplomats built Western-style villas along the pine-clad shore — a resort heritage visible in the historic architecture preserved around the Gama no Yu thermal district.
