Flavors of Nagoya - Food Review



Enjoy food and more in Nagoya...

2019 April: Japan: Visit to Takayama and Shirakawa Village


We booked at Klook, but try if you can get it on a lower price at Meitetsu Kanko website.
On the day of your travel, go to Meitetsu Bus Center 4F to get your tour sticker and travel guide documents.  The office opens at 7:10am, stay nearby the door because there area a lot of tourists who will be waiting outside.  The bus was expected to arrive at 8:10am in Gates 27 and 28. But because the earlier bus departures have problems of waiting for their guests, expect that your own departure time will be affected as well.

My favorite would be doing your omiyage shopping in Don Quijote above the Sakae station.

Japan: 6 Days Spring Itinerary in Nagoya


Sakura in Nagoya
Forecast showed that full bloom is on last week of March, but don’t always trust the forecast.  It’s been cloudy and raining in few days of our stay, and because of less heat that the buds did not open and there are more still more buds than blooming flowers.

Gladly, we had our full experience in Tsuruma Park on our last day in April 01.

Date Visited: March 26 - April 01, 2019


Health Alert
I already have asthma prior on going to Nagoya and I keep on coughing and had deep breathes all day long.  Le me share with you, there exists pollen allergies or known as “hay fever” that is wide spread during spring season or February to April in Japan.

It is advisable to wear eye glasses and face masks when enjoying the nature, trees and blooming flowers during this season.
