It's fun, Lego fans are delighted. There was no queue when I went there on Sunday, and I played all the basic projects from opening to closing. Unfortunately, the Ninjago City area was closed due to construction. The noodles and rice sold at the entrance of the Ninjago area tasted good, and the smoked chicken legs in the park were also delicious.
Went there on a weekend, very few people, the longest queue for one project was 15 minutes,
Flying Dragon's apprentice only queued for five minutes, thought it was a not very popular project,
When the car started to move, I found it was a roller coaster, I was not mentally prepared, screamed crazily🤪
I like submarines the most, you can watch the big shake, you must buy the smoothie, it's super delicious
Mini World is well made, very delicate

OK, here is a concise review of the Port of Nagoya Aquarium (about 100 words):
---
The Port of Nagoya Aquarium is one of the top aquariums in Japan, with a large scale and a distinct theme. The most shocking thing is its main tank "Sea of Japan", where the sight of a giant whale shark swimming with a school of fish is breathtaking. The penguin and dolphin performances in the "Antarctic Journey" hall are full of vitality and very interesting to observe up close. The building itself is very modern, combined with the port scenery, especially at sunset. The content is rich and the facilities are complete. Whether it is a parent-child trip or a couple's date, it is **very worth a visit**. It is a must-see attraction in Nagoya.
---
**Features are concentrated:**
* **Large scale and prominent theme** (Sea of Japan, Antarctic Journey)
* **Core highlights**: Giant whale shark tank, penguin hall, dolphin performance
* **Good environment**: modern architecture, port scenery, beautiful sunset
* **Good overall experience**: suitable for all types of tourists, complete facilities
* **Summary**: A must-see attraction in Nagoya, highly recommended.
The subway is quite convenient, and the scenery at the seaside in Nagoya is nice.
The aquarium is divided into two halls, the south hall's Sardines Storm show is wonderful,
and the killer whale and dolphin show in the north hall is also good (the killer whale is not as good as Haichang).

The place itself maintained really well, very historical  architectural building and the outdoor also such a good scenery. Worth a visit when you travel to Nagoya!
As the hometown of the main military aristocracy in the Antu Taoshan era, Oda Xinchang Toyoson Xiu Jidechuan Jiakang and others, Nagoya was the hub between the Kanto Kansai area in that period. Nagoya City was one of the representative castles in the Warring States era of Japan. It was large in scale and distinctive. The decoration and screen of the main building in the city also reflected the aesthetic taste of the aristocratic class at that time.

I went at night, and I was in a time-limited attraction during the day. The shrine is open all day, so I went to see it at night. There are no people in the shrine. I saw a few buildings with ancient charm. I also saw a wine association listing various wines, which was very interesting.
There were so many tourists, and the restaurant called Miya Kishimen in Atsuta Jingu was very popular! The soup stock was fresh and delicious, and there was a line during the day!

the street is convenient to get there , lots of shopping and some special food and you can buy after visiting the temple there
You can find lots of Second-hand boutique with high quality and reasonable price. It will definitely take long time for shopping . Don't miss the Osu Kannon where close to the shopping streets. It's traditional temple and you can pray to have blessings.

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.
Oasis 21 is a glass house filled with water created by Japanese people who pay attention to environmental protection. It is like a fish tank as big as a baseball field. It was designed and built by Hideki Casai and won the Solutia Award in 2003 (awarded to the author who uses glass as the design material). In addition to being a landmark building that boasts of its brilliance, Oasis 21 also fully demonstrates the concept of environmental protection. The top floor is the "Water Spaceship", which is made entirely of glass and is a large container for rainwater. The rainwater can be used by other facilities below, fully demonstrating the recycling of natural energy.

There is a wonderful zoo, a large number of animals and beautiful recreation areas, as well as a beautiful observation deck on the territory of the park, which allows you to see the city center from the other side.
This zoo is worth visiting. It is a rare experience to observe wild animals up close. Tickets are issued very quickly, and it only takes about two minutes.
It is much faster to enter than other people holding paper tickets. Good

The advantage of Nagoya is that there are few people everywhere. Various museums are optimistic about the opening date in advance to avoid being empty. As long as you don't need to make an appointment here on the opening day, you can buy tickets on the spot, and the fare is not expensive. It is very large inside, divided into textile areas and car areas. Originally went to the car, but I didn't expect the textile area to be so beautiful. There are many interactive facilities, in addition to the machine demonstration, there are live demonstrations. The car area has a complete set of assembly lines, and you can clearly see how a car is installed. Even if he has a variety of classic models of Toyota since its inception, the big friends and children who like the car can't walk here. It takes two or three hours to walk around. If you listen carefully to the explanation and watch the demonstration, it is expected to take a day. Sometimes there will be free explanations. Looking at the situation of the staff, some staff are very good. You can explain in detail to tourists from different countries in Chinese, English and Japanese. Some staff are very indifferent. I always feel that Japan's service industry has changed a lot from before. Every staff member I met before has a very good attitude. Now I have a relatively high chance of encountering indifferent staff.
Come and pay homage to the history of the industrial giant Toyota.
Although they started in the textile industry, they accidentally created the legend of the automobile manufacturing industry later, and now they still dominate the global automobile production and sales.
From the exhibition route and introduction, we can also see the extreme pursuit of details by the Japanese.
There is also a small restaurant in the museum that provides simple meals, and even the pre-made dishes taste good.
