I can say that, Nagoya is the heart of Batam Island, the center of this city. This district is located on the northern side of Batam Island, where you can find most hotels, malls, restaurants, tourist attractions and entertainment. The heartbeat of Nagoya is up for day and night, but mostly more alive at night.
Nagoya Entertainment District
It was according to the plan that, Batam Center is most likely to be the main gate to Batam from International and also build government office and town administrative over there.
While Nagoya is more focus on private enterprises which run businesses and entertainment, like I mention before.
It is not a secret that Batam nightlife is very active and popular among Singaporeans and expatriates.
Not forget to mention locals also, of course.
