Fewer people than Tokyo, more fun to visit than Osaka, Nagoya is simply amazing‼ ️After three trips to Nagoya, I finally realized it's truly not a tourist desert. Convenient, affordable, developed, and uncrowded—that's how I describe it. 📸 While it's not as bustling as Tokyo or Osaka, not as charming as Nara or Kyoto, and lacking the ambiance of Sapporo or Otaru, Nagoya offers bustling urban amenities, yet few tourists and a consistently slow pace.
✔️This sense of comfort stems from:
1. A relatively small population, so nothing is crowded.
2. The city is concentrated, making it easy to find luxury brands, drugstores, and outdoor items.
3. Convenient transportation, with airport, subway, and Shinkansen connections.
4. Plenty of entertainment options, including Legoland, Ghibli Park, and the aquarium.
🏨Where to Stay: I recommend staying near the Sakae business district, where businesses are concentrated, nightlife is vibrant, and there are numerous shopping malls.
🥘Food:
🍣Tokubei Sushi: A conveyor belt sushi restaurant with a Chinese menu. The food is excellent, and the sushi chef, a white-haired grandfather, meticulously prepares the sushi on site. The food is four stars!
🍗World's Oyama-chan: Nagoya's chicken wings are a must-try! They have many branches, and the chicken wings are so fun to eat—they're instantly boneless!
🥩Janjan-tei (Ei branch): A great value all-you-can-eat BBQ restaurant. For 150 yuan per person, you can fill up on a variety of meats, as well as soups, drinks, desserts, and side dishes. The service is excellent, but there's a bit of a wait.
Recommended attractions:
1️⃣ Legoland: This place condenses Japanese landmarks into Lego-sized miniature worlds. It's great for photos and perfect for families or couples.
2️⃣ Ghibli Park: A visit to Hayao Miyazaki will amaze you. Many scenes from his films are divided into different areas, making it a real-life fairytale world.
3️⃣ Nagoya Port Aquarium: A must-see for families! There's a giant fish tank and a variety of marine shows, with interactive dolphin displays.
4️⃣ Osu Kannon: This temple houses a Kannon temple and is surrounded by a pedestrian street with many vintage and boutique shops.
5️⃣ Nagoya Castle, a popular tourist attraction, is perfect for a leisurely stroll. Local students will come to listen to historical explanations. There's also a ninja show, and seeing the ancient city up close is truly spectacular.
6️⃣ Sakae Commercial Street: The busiest street in the city, perfect for shopping and strolling to experience the hustle and bustle. Nearby are Nagoya TV Tower, 21 Oasis, and the Ferris Wheel.
7️⃣ Atsuta Jingu Shrine: Encircled by lush greenery, it offers a sense of tranquility (the amulets are beautiful).
✅Key Point: Nagoya has direct flights from almost all major cities in China. In April of this year, Xiamen Airlines launched direct flights from Fuzhou to Nagoya, offering convenient round-trip travel times. Furthermore, Xiamen Airlines will launch direct flights from Hangzhou to Nagoya at the end of June. If your family's city doesn't have direct flights, consider booking a Xiamen Airlines international connecting flight. With spacious seats, exquisite in-flight dining, and attentive service, choosing Xiamen Airlines is a truly comfortable experience! #Japan #JapanTravel #Nagoya #Travel
