After I wrote the last installment of Japan Fun Time, we put on our shoes and headed out to see what the city of Nagoya had to offer.
It’s a quick walk from Aim E. and PB’s apartment to the subway station…
We got a day pass for 720 yen and hopped on board…
In about 10 minutes, we were at Nagoya Castle…
Upon entry, we were greeted by a real samurai…
Once inside the gates, we headed over to the tea house to do the tea ceremony…
After our tea, we got to pour some water over some rocks, and they made a cool sound…
As we walked closer to the tower, we were greeted by Lord Tokugawa Ieyasu…
After a few twists and turns, we approached the tower…
Inside of the tower is a cool museum, but you’re not really allowed to take pictures in there.
I did snap this next one from the top of the tower…
After visiting the Nagoya Castle, we jumped back on the subway…
We got out in the Osu Kannon shopping district…
While there, I had my favorite street food so far in Japan…
Okanamiyaki is a savory pancake with cabbage and pork. Usually, I am told, it is flat, and all the stuff is mixed into the pancake.
This one was more like a deconstructed okanamiyaki sandwich.
It was so good, I ordered another one…
I could get used to this place.
Stay Rad,
