Rail travel in the 1990sSourced
A bullet train
skipped Nagoya.
A Nozomi service launched in 1992 passed through Nagoya and Kyoto without stopping on its way to Osaka. The decision drew local backlash; the service began stopping at both cities in 1997.
The phrase “Nagoya skipping”
outlived the timetable.
