Nagoya DOOH · Sakae · Nagoya Station · Osu · June 2026
A Chubu manufacturing metro near 9.5 million on Ise Bay, from the Sakae core and the TV Tower to the Nagoya Station towers to the Osu arcades, bookable by the hour, priced per play, matched to how Nagoya actually moves.
Nagoya billboard and DOOH (digital out-of-home) costs span from a few cents per play on urban panels to premium Sakae, Fushimi and landmark networks. On Blindspot, Nagoya screens are booked by the hour and priced per play, entry plays start around $0.32, with no contracts or minimums.
The smart Nagoya play isn't one screen for a month. It's the right screens at the right hours: the arteries at commute peak, the malls through the afternoon, the nightlife and tourist cores after dark.

Highway and arterial bulletins built for commuter frequency on the busiest routes.

Landmark and spectacular placements for brand statements in the city's signature locations.
Location insights
Nagoya is Japan's manufacturing capital, the Toyota heartland on Ise Bay laid out on a wide samurai-era grid. Mornings load the Higashiyama and Sakuradori subway lines and the Meitetsu and JR lines toward the Meieki towers around Nagoya Station and the Sakae office core; lunch and afternoons fill the Sakae crossing under the TV Tower, the Hisaya-odori park and the Osu Kannon arcades; evenings pull crowds to the Nishiki and Sakae bars. The Nagoya Castle and the Atsuta Shrine anchor the heritage trade. Buy the Nagoya Station morning commute and the Sakae daytime peak.
Nagoya Station and the main arteries surge 7:30–10 AM and 5–8 PM. Book exactly those hours and your frequency climbs for the same budget.
Fushimi and the city's malls hold heavy footfall from noon to evening, long windows where dwell and shopping intent, not rush, do the work.
Sakae shifts from daytime to social and tourism after dark. Different audience, same screens, swap the creative, not the location.
Location intelligence summary
Nagoya doesn't have one rush hour; it has rotating audiences sharing the same streets. The only buying model that matches that is hourly: pay for the windows when your audience owns the city, skip the ones when it doesn't.
| Objective | Book these zones | Best hours |
|---|---|---|
| Brand launch | Sakae + Nagoya Station | 6–11 PM |
| Commuter frequency | Osu shopping district, Nagoya Station | 7:30–10 AM · 5–8 PM |
| Retail foot traffic | Fushimi, Sakae | 12–8 PM |
| B2B / decision-makers | Sakuradori / Higashiyama line, Nagoya Station | Weekdays 9 AM–6 PM |
| Tourism & events | Sakae, Nagoya Castle | 10 AM–8 PM |
A month-long 24/7 rotation pays for 3 AM plays nobody sees. Hourly booking concentrates the same budget into Nagoya’s proven peak windows, and typically saves 30%+ versus a flat four-week flight.
Morning commuters read in 2 seconds; evening crowds dwell for minutes. Run different creative by hour on the same screens, even trigger swaps on weather or live data.
Every play is logged. Blindspot campaigns report verified plays and attribution, measured against control groups, not estimated reach.
The zones above already draw a specific buyer: automotive industry executives moving through Nagoya Station and Sakuradori / Higashiyama line toward Aichi's automotive cluster, home to Toyota Motor Corporation and suppliers like Denso and Aisin (see DOOH for B2B), and aerospace manufacturing professionals on the same corridor headed toward Mitsubishi Heavy Industries' Nagoya Aerospace Systems Works, which builds composite wing boxes for the Boeing 787.

No minimums · no contracts · pay per verified play · hourly scheduling per screen
Four things move the price on any Nagoya screen: the format (pricing runs higher on nagoya subway screens than on roadside & arterial digital), the zone (Sakae & the TV Tower carries the highest footfall premium), the daypart (peak commute and evening hours price above the overnight lull), and how far in advance you book, since the busiest zones and formats sell out first.
What a campaign costs
Because you pay per play and schedule by the hour, your budget buys the exposure you actually need, not filler plays, so it works as hard on a big campaign as on a small one, with no minimum. Here's what budgets realistically buy. Live numbers per screen are in the platform.
Commute test

FAQ
No. Blindspot books time on screens that are already installed and permitted by their media-owner operators, MCDecaux (JCDecaux Japan), JR Central rail media, Meitetsu station media among them, so you're leasing airtime on an existing structure, not erecting a new one.
Specs vary by screen: orientation, resolution and file format differ from one panel to the next. Every screen shows its exact requirements in the platform before you upload, so there's no separate spec sheet to track down before you book.
Yes. Every Nagoya screen on Blindspot is bookable by the hour, with no minimum contract and no retainer. You pick the exact windows, so you can buy the morning commute on Nagoya Station, the afternoon retail stretch around Fushimi & the office core, or the evening social hours in Sakae & the TV Tower, and skip everything between. Because you pay per play instead of for a fixed four-week flight, the same budget concentrated into proven peak windows buys more useful frequency than the same money spread across every hour including the overnight ones nobody sees. Availability and the per-play price are visible before you commit, and you can start with one screen and one daypart.
Blindspot puts the bookable digital out-of-home screens across Nagoya on a single map: roadside and boulevard LED, street-level panels and citylights, transit and station screens, mall and place-based displays, and landmark placements, all priced per play and bookable by the hour. That spans zones from Sakae & the TV Tower through to Nagoya Castle & Hisaya-odori. The underlying screens are owned and run by media operators such as MCDecaux (JCDecaux Japan), JR Central rail media and Meitetsu station media, and Blindspot books time on their existing, already-permitted structures rather than reselling a fixed package. You see each screen, its zone, its per-play price and its live availability before committing, so you are choosing specific screens and hours rather than buying an unspecified network bundle.
Often within hours: upload, pass creative pre-check, and digital screens need no printing or installation. Content approval typically averages around two business days across networks.
More than most people expect, because you are buying plays rather than weeks. A $500 budget in Nagoya typically funds a multi-day hourly presence on a high-traffic corridor such as Nagoya Station, a concentrated burst across the busiest retail and transit screens at peak hours only, or thousands of plays on central urban panels where the per-play price is lowest. At entry prices around $0.32 per play, the arithmetic is straightforward and visible before you commit. What it will not stretch to is 24/7 coverage of a landmark spectacular, and that is the point of hourly buying: concentrate a small budget where and when it is seen instead of thinning it across hours with no audience.
No. Blindspot has no minimums, retainers or platform fees; you can run a focused hourly burst on a single screen or a full multi-zone Nagoya campaign.
