    I had a wonderful time at the Nagoya Aquarium! The environment is very clean, spacious, and well-organized, making it a pleasant place to explore. There are so many kinds of marine animals — from penguins and sea turtles to whales and dolphins — and each area is full of interesting information. I really enjoyed learning about ocean life while walking through the exhibits.The highlight of my visit was definitely the dolphin show! The performance was lively and full of energy — the dolphins were amazing, and the trainers were so professional. It was both entertaining and touching to watch how well they worked together.Overall, it’s a great place for families, couples, or anyone who loves the ocean. I highly recommend visiting if you come to Nagoya! 🐬🌊✨

    Transportation‼️ If you're staying in Nagoya, you can take a direct bus from platform 4F-24 of the Meitetsu Bus Center. The best times are 9:00 AM and 9:15 AM, which depart on time🚍. Alternatively, you can take the subway🚇 Higashiyama Line to Fujioka and then transfer to the subway to Expo 'n' Roll Memorial Park. The five Ghibli parks are quite spread out. We recommend referring to our itinerary⬇️ First stop📍 Youth Hill ➡️ Take the free shuttle bus within the park to the furthest area, Totoro Forest. Second stop📍 Totoro Forest ➡️ Take the free cable car to the top of the mountain to see the giant Totoro. Children can go inside for photos. ➡️ Take the paid Catbus down the mountain. Third stop📍 Ghost Village Fourth stop📍 Witch Valley ‼️ Witch Valley is the largest outdoor area. Howl's Moving Castle is located here, and there are two paid rides. You can also have lunch here. Fifth stop📍 The Great Warehouse ‼️ Upon entering the large warehouse, you can first watch a free movie (all unreleased content). We watched a segment from My Neighbor Totoro, and the theme song instantly transported us back to our childhood! ‼ If the [Special Project Exhibition Hall] isn't crowded, quickly queue to enter. Photography and videography are prohibited inside, but the exhibition is incredibly engaging, featuring many iconic scenes. ‼ Finally, take photos in various corners of the large warehouse. Of course, many areas within the park prohibit photography and videography; just enjoy the immersive experience! 💕 ‼ The exit from the large warehouse leads directly to the surrounding shops for a shopping spree! 🛍

    Nagoya Castle at 4 PM was beautiful, and I even caught a ninja and cat tour. We dragged our feet until 4 PM, and the lady at the gate 🧍‍♀️ said we could only visit for an hour, which meant we were finished at 5 PM! I didn't expect it to be a student tour day, so I saw a ton of students coming out the moment I entered. I even ran into a couple of ninjas leaving their jobs, and a sleeping cat! Although the temple tour ended at 4:30 PM, I was a little disappointed I didn't make it, but Nagoya Castle was truly beautiful and I was quite moved... 🏯Nagoya Castle 🈺9-18 PM 🎫500 yen/person

    We went there at night. We were rushing to see time-limited attractions during the day. The shrine is open all day, so we went there at night. There were not many people in the shrine. We saw several buildings with ancient charm. We also saw a wine association listing various wines, which was very interesting.

    The zoo: This is a truly amazing zoo! The 23 RMB ticket price is enough to see many animals rarely seen in China, such as silverback gorillas, desert cats, hawks, bison, and manuls. The animal welfare is also quite good. While some of the exhibits are a bit small, most have indoor and outdoor areas, plus cages, and the zoo is well-stocked. The only downside is that many of the exhibits (like the manul) are still in traditional cages, making them difficult to see through. Some of the glass exhibits were a bit dirty, but for 23 RMB, what's the point of a bike? Just a reminder: be aware of closing times; they collect the animals early and never delay them (I missed out on shopping and wanted to spend some money to help feed the animals). Overall, the zoo exceeded my expectations, and I completely understand the online claims about it being a hidden gem! A must-do when visiting Nagoya, especially with children! And be sure to allow plenty of time. Botanical Garden: Didn't have enough time to go (doge) Amusement Park: Most of the rides are educational and suitable for children. Prices vary by a few hundred yen. On weekdays, there's a 600 yen offer for three rides, which is highly recommended. There's also a roller coaster called Slope Shooter (P2, yes, it's a roller coaster), which has been operating since 1961. It's a very unique ride and highly recommended!

    It has a glass-roofed "Water Spaceship" where you can walk 14 meters in the air, an above-ground park "Green Land" with a vast lawn, a semi-underground "Bus Terminal", and "Galaxy Plaza" where various events are held underground. A three-dimensional park with 30 various shops. The spaceship that lights up the water at night is very photogenic, and it is also a popular photo spot.
