The Coat of Arms Nagoya: Commonwealth Pub Announces Move to Fushimi Station

In Nagoya's bustling nightlife scene, a significant change is coming to one of the city's longest-running international pubs. The Coat of Arms Nagoya, tucked away in its characteristic back street location since 2013, is moving to Fushimi Station – a shift that marks a new phase for this fixture of Nagoya's expat community.

The pub's journey from hidden gem to established name in Nagoya's international bar scene has been notable. The Coat of Arms has earned its place in Nagoya's international bar scene the old-fashioned way - through word-of-mouth and a loyal following. Among Fushimi's other established venues, like Midtown BBQ and Shooter's, this back-street pub built its own unique community, drawing punters who appreciated its tucked-away charm and welcoming atmosphere.

What keeps people coming back isn't just the Commonwealth theme, but a kitchen that takes pub fare seriously. British classics like fish and chips share the menu with New Zealand lamb and Canadian poutine, while wood-fired pizzas satisfy late-night cravings. The taps tell a similar story of variety, rotating through both craft selections and reliable standards - a mix that's helped turn first-time visitors into regulars over the years.

Changing Locations, Keeping Character

The Coat of Arms' relocation marks the end of an era of giving directions through Nagoya's back streets. Their new home, Fushimi Station, sits at the crossing of two major Nagoya Subway routes - the Higashiyama and Tsurumai lines. The move places the pub right in the heart of one of Nagoya's most vibrant nightlife districts, where finding your way is as simple as following the station signs. For regulars and newcomers alike, this central Fushimi location transforms a hidden gem into an easily accessible destination.

But if you haven't had the chance to visit - or if you are a regular who is out of the loop - there's still time! The current location will continue operating until December 28, 2024, with the new Fushimi spot scheduled to open in early spring 2025. The timing aligns with broader changes in the Fushimi area, which has seen several international venues establish themselves in recent years.
