Nagoya Station at night

I visited Nagoya a while ago and traveled to Ise Jingu on the train. My stay in Nagoya was short so I only managed to take a few photos around the Station before getting on the train.

This structure in front of the station caught my eye at night with a nice blue reflection

Always nice to look at the train tracks from above

Can't remember the name of this mannequin statue. I think it is Jane?

Each area of Japan seems to have a different feel about its train system

What it is: The main transport hub of the Chubu region. Every Tokaido Shinkansen train stops here, and the station also serves JR conventional lines, Meitetsu, Kintetsu, the Nagoya subway (Higashiyama and Sakura-dori lines) and the Aonami Line. An underground concourse links the JR station to Meitetsu, Kintetsu, the subway and buses.
Shinkansen times: About 1 hour 40 minutes from Tokyo, 35 minutes to Kyoto and 50 minutes to Osaka.
In the station: The JR Central Towers above the station hold the JR Nagoya Takashimaya department store, restaurant floors and the Nagoya Marriott Associa Hotel, and the JR Gate Tower is next door.
Sky Promenade (Midland Square): The observation deck on floors 44-46 of the neighbouring Midland Square opens 11:00-22:00 (last admission 21:30), or until 22:30 in August. Adults pay ¥1,000 on weekdays and ¥1,200 on weekends and holidays. The entrance is on the 42nd floor, reached by shuttle elevator from the ground floor, and admission may be restricted in bad weather.
Onward: Nagoya Castle is a 5-minute walk from Exit 7 of Nagoyajo Station on the Meijo subway line, though the main keep cannot currently be entered. Atsuta Jingu is served by Atsuta Jingu Nishi Station on the Meijo line and Jingu-mae Station on Meitetsu, and its grounds are open 24 hours.

It took time, but it's good to have you back. The last few articles are filled with nice pictures, and the first few here are candies for the eye! And it all feels great.

Can you explain me the purpose of this barrier, please?

I think it is just to stop people falling between the carriages from the platform
