Bored in Nagoya? 3 days and 2 nights explosive travel special forces

Ladies and Gentlemen, Nagoya is not some boring little town, it is clearly a treasure trove of hidden surprises! For those who are visiting Nagoya for the first time, please save this super detailed 3-day, 2-night guide to experience the unique charm of Nagoya in depth! Transportation Guide ✈️Central Japan International Airport: About 40 kilometers from downtown Nagoya, you can take the Central Japan International Airport Line and reach the city center in about 40 minutes. You can also book a high-speed bus in advance on the jrc Japan website. The price is more affordable than the Shinkansen and the journey takes about 2.5 hours. There is wireless wifi, charging sockets and toilets on the bus, and the bus will stop at the Konan Service Area for a rest. 🚇City transportation: Nagoya subway is very convenient. Buy a one-day pass (about 760 yen) and you can ride it as many times as you want within 24 hours. You can easily visit various attractions and save a lot of taxi money. Must-visit attractions Atsuta Shrine (Day 1 morning): One of the oldest shrines in Japan, it houses the sword of Yamato Takeru, one of the three sacred treasures of Japan. The shrine has ancient buildings and large green areas, making it a great place for walking. Osu Kannon Temple & Osu Shopping Street (Day 1 afternoon): Kannon Temple is very popular, and if you are lucky you may even come across a flea market. After visiting the temples, you can go straight to eating mode. A variety of special snacks and trendy goods will satisfy your taste buds and shopping desires in one stop. Nagoya Castle (Day 1 evening): Nagoya’s iconic building, one of Japan’s three most famous castles along with Osaka Castle and Kumamoto Castle. Although the castle tower is temporarily closed, it is still great to admire the castle architecture and feel the historical charm from outside, and you can also try the matcha ice cream inside. Nagoya TV Tower (Day 1 evening): A landmark of Nagoya, you can overlook the entire city from the top of the TV tower. When the lights come on, the night view is super beautiful. There are also many hidden coffee shops under the tower. Inuyama Castle (Day 2 morning): This castle is full of historical charm. The surrounding castle town retains the architectural style of the Edo period. You can rent a kimono to experience the feeling of traveling through time and space, and you can also try the local Hida beef sushi. Legoland (Day 2 afternoon): The second Legoland in Asia, with more than 40 rides and large Lego installations, both children and adults can have a lot of fun. Shirakawa-go (Day 3, all day): A world cultural heritage, the architecture of Gassho Village is super unique, like walking into a fairy tale world. You can enjoy cherry blossoms in spring, maple leaves in autumn, and the lighting ceremony in winter. It is so beautiful. It is recommended to set off early in the morning to avoid the afternoon tour groups. Food Recommendation Hida Beef: Japan's top beef, as famous as Kobe and Matsusaka beef, the meat is tender and juicy, and melts in your mouth. Be sure to find an authentic restaurant to try it. Three ways to eat eel rice: eat it as is, add ingredients to mix it with rice for a richer taste, add tea to make a soup that is refreshing and less greasy. One serving of rice, three kinds of enjoyment. Miso Udon: The rich and mellow miso soup, paired with the chewy udon noodles, every bite is super satisfying, warming both the body and the heart. Accommodation suggestions It is recommended to stay near Nagoya Station. Transportation is very convenient, whether taking the subway, Meitetsu or JR, it is very convenient. There are also shopping malls such as Takashimaya and Meitetsu Department Store nearby, with many shopping and dining options. For example, Sky Tower Prince Hotel, Mitsuigarden Hotel Nagoya Premier, and Courtyard by Marriott all have good locations and facilities. Note: Nagoya Castle is not open at night, so you can’t take photos of the night view. It is recommended to enter from the side door during the day, which is closer. Although the Nagoya subway is convenient, you still need to take the bus to some places. Please prepare change or transportation card in advance. Japan has strict garbage classification, so don’t litter. Finish your food in the store and avoid eating while walking. If you want to go to Osu Kannon Temple to get an amulet, try to go early as it may be closed after 5pm. Don't bring meat products and fruits into the country as the inspection is very strict.
