Nagoya 6-Day 5-Night Family Fun with Non-Stop Eating, Shopping, and Playing.

Some people say Nagoya is the most boring city in Japan, but I completely disagree. This 6-day 5-night family trip during the summer was incredibly satisfying! Day 1: We took an afternoon flight and arrived at Chubu Centrair International Airport in Nagoya at 8 PM Japan time. Since we had already filled out the entry forms on Visit Japan Web, the immigration process was very quick. Because we flew with a budget airline, we landed at Terminal 2 and had to walk to Terminal 1 to pick up our car, which took about 15 minutes. It was quite a walk! After picking up the car, we headed straight to the city, dropped off our luggage at the hotel, and immediately went to Isomaru Suisan for a seafood dinner. After a satisfying meal, we went back to the hotel to prepare for the next day's itinerary. Day 2: We had a Japanese-style breakfast at McDonald's, then drove to Houraiken to get a ticket for their famous eel rice. We then visited Atsuta Shrine to draw a fortune slip, spent an hour at Osu Shopping Street, and returned to Houraiken for lunch. Afterward, we took a stroll around Nagoya Castle, got new glasses at Aeon Mall, and had dinner at a local ramen shop before heading back to the hotel. Day 3: We started the day early with onigiri and sandwiches from Aeon, then drove 165 kilometers to Takayama for a local Hida beef meal. We spent over an hour exploring Takayama Old Town, then drove another 50 minutes to ride the rail bikes. After that, we drove almost 200 kilometers back to Nagoya for dinner at Sushiro, followed by a shopping spree at Don Quijote before returning to the hotel to rest. Day 4: We woke up naturally, had a local Nagoya breakfast, and drove 60 kilometers to Suzuka Circuit, where we played until around 5 PM. Due to heavy rain, we decided to leave early and drove to AEON Mall in Suzuka City for more shopping and a simple dinner at the food court. We then braved the heavy rain to drive back to Nagoya. Day 5: Still feeling full, we had a light breakfast, checked out, and moved our luggage to LEGOLAND. After dropping off our luggage, we spent the day at LEGOLAND, then returned to the hotel to rest. Later, we drove back to Nagoya for a high-quality yakiniku dinner before returning to the hotel. Day 6: We had a lavish breakfast at the LEGOLAND hotel, then headed to the Nagashima Outlet for some serious shopping. We filled our bags to the brim, refueled the car near the airport, made a final shopping stop at a nearby supermarket, and returned the car at the airport. After checking in our luggage, we visited the Flight of Dreams exhibit next to Terminal 2, enjoyed some ramen while watching a Boeing 787, and then departed for Hong Kong. So, Nagoya is definitely not boring, and we even ran out of time to do everything we wanted!
