2025 Aichi Prefecture Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in March)

[Yamamotoya Main Store Sakae Chuo Store] Aichi: 7 minutes walk from Sakae Station | Miso nikomi udon with kashiwa (¥ 1150) It seems that the lid is used as a plate to eat, but I just stuck ✌️ Udon is relatively hard and chewy, so it looks like the amount is small, but it makes me quite full 😆 I wonder if I could have ordered the rice ... It was a waste because there was a lot of juice left 😭 (It should be absolutely delicious if you eat it over rice!) Yamamotoya is crowded everywhere, but this shop is a little-known spot ^ _ ^ .. .. .. #yamamotoya #yamamotoya Main Store #miso nikomi udon #aichi gourmet #nagoya

[Atsuta Houraiken Matsuzakaya store] Aichi: 2 minutes walk from Yabacho Station Matsuzakaya Nagoya Store South Building 10F | Hitsumabushi (¥ 3900) The originator of "Hitsumabushi", which is celebrating its 146th year this year. An immovable well-known store that waits for 2.3 hours when it gets crowded. It was my first hitsumabushi, so I asked him to follow "How to eat hitsumabushi". The eel, which is finely chopped and mixed with rice, is exquisitely baked and has a crispy surface and fluffy inside. There is plenty of secret sauce soaked in and it's delicious to be impressed 🥺 The condiments (seaweed, all-purpose onion, wasabi) are also delicious and go well with rice 🤤 Finally, add bonito broth to make ochazuke. Satisfied with stomach and heart ♡

#japantrip I definitely wanted to go to dayday Seoul in Nagoya...! They also have a store in Osaka, but the cafe wasn't open, so I went to the cafe I've been wanting to go to☕️! It opened in April last year, and the interior is more of a fashionable style, so it's highly recommended for Korean fans! ! There were a few people who were doing their favorite idol activities, and it was fun and great✨ While waiting for the cafe, you can look at clothes and accessories, so it's an exciting space and fun👀✨ The drinks are quite sweet, and even if you don't like coffee, they have other drinks like matcha, so it was great for me🤤 If you have a chance to go to Nagoya, please go and check it out! 〜Menu Ordered〜 ⚪︎Matcha Latte　700 yen ⚪︎Affogato　650 yen Address: 1F, 1-24-36 Sakae, Naka-ku, Nagoya, Aichi, Japan 🚃Nearest station: 5-minute walk from Osu Kannon Station. 🕘Opening hours: 11:00-19:00

Inuyama City is located in the northwestern part of Aichi Prefecture, Japan Must-sees: 👉🏻[Inuyama Castle] 🔅As one of Japan's five National Treasure castles, Inuyama Castle is a must-see⁉️ 🔅If you have the habit of sending postcards, remember to buy a set of 8 postcards. It includes different views of Inuyama Castle in four seasons, day and night, and the price is quite reasonable🤩 · 👉🏻[Float Exhibition Hall] 🔅The most surprising attraction, with a 100-yen entrance fee🎫, I didn't want to leave❗️The hall is small, and there aren't many exhibits, but seeing the 4 floats on display and the spectacular scene of the float parade is still very exciting🥳 🔅I really want to come back to Inuyama Castle on the first weekend of April someday to see the Inuyama Festival with 13 floats parading with my own eyes🧐 · ❤️Must-eats: 👉🏽[Nikubei] 🔅Just buy a Hida beef two-course meal set, which includes a raw beef sushi🍣 and a charcoal-grilled beef roll🫔.

Japan has many theme parks, and in Nagoya, Aichi Prefecture, there is an animation kingdom - Ghibli Park. Young people born in the 80s and 90s probably all know about Ghibli. Even if the name is a bit unfamiliar, seeing its Totoro logo will definitely remind you of who it is. Hayao Miyazaki's animations accompanied my student days and are filled with youthful memories. Ghibli Park Travel Tips Transportation: Take the subway Higashiyama Line from Nagoya Station to Fujigaoka Station, then transfer to the Linimo Line to Aichikyuhaku Kinen Koen Station. The park is just a short walk from there. Or take a direct bus to Ghibli Park from the Meitetsu Bus Center and other major hubs. Tickets: Tickets can be purchased through the official website or authorized online channels. General admission tickets are usually sold two months in advance and are very difficult to get. Famous Sake Brand [Shiraoi]: At Sawada Shuzo, you can make a reservation for their sake tasting experience. Not only will there be a dedicated person to explain the history of sake, but you can also visit the sake brewing process and finally taste different sakes. If you like, you can purchase them. During the tasting session, appetizers are thoughtfully prepared for visitors, and different sakes are served in different porcelain cups, which are specially made in the Tokoname area. [AEON Mall Tokoname]: The architecture here is very retro, and the most eye-catching is the giant Maneki-neko (beckoning cat) - Tofuku - located in the center of the lobby. As a large shopping mall, there is a wide variety of shops here, and you can find almost everything you want to buy. Plus, it's only one stop away from the airport, making it perfect for picking up some last-minute souvenirs before heading to the airport. [Tokoname Ceramic Ware Road]: Here's another giant Maneki-neko! Let's take a picture together! Stroll along Tokoname Ceramic Ware Road. As the hometown of Maneki-neko, cute Maneki-neko elements can be seen everywhere. You'll also find several small Maneki-nekos in various shapes, making me feel like I've entered a miniature world of beckoning cats. It's very interesting. On Tokoname Ceramic Ware Road, there are many unique ceramic shops run by artists, as well as traditional old-style pottery shops. Everything is made by the shop owners themselves, and each piece is unique and worth collecting. [World Tile Museum]: On Tokoname Ceramic Ware Road, there is also a novel and unique World Tile Museum, which was a surprising discovery on this trip. What impressed me the most was that there are over a thousand representative tiles collected and displayed here, which is quite spectacular. I also experienced "tile pasting" and made a photo frame with small tiles representing the colors of autumn as a souvenir of this autumn trip. The museum has six themed areas where you can not only learn about the history and charm of ceramics but also experience other hands-on projects. [Chubu Centrair International Airport]: It's very close from Tokoname to Chubu Centrair International Airport. Be sure to check out the Flight of Dreams themed area located in Terminal 1. A Boeing 787 is parked here, and visitors can enter the aircraft to take photos and learn about related knowledge. It's very suitable for families with children. There is also a dedicated children's play area below the plane. If you want to free up your hands and entertain your kids, come here! There's also an airplane viewing platform. I must come and experience it next time I have enough time.

✵ A restaurant in Aichi Prefecture where I happened to find lunch that was just too amazing𐩢𐩺 The restaurant was a stylish house in a residential area🌟 I ordered a pasta set for lunch ☑️Tomato cream pasta ¥1,380 (Salad, soup, drink included) Every dish was stylish and really delicious🤤 I was so interested in the homemade sweets that I also ordered a strawberry tart! There was a wide variety of cakes and canelés🍰 I was lucky enough to get in without a reservation, but people kept coming in one after another and it was full, and the restaurant isn't that big, so I recommend making a reservation❀ Also, be careful because it's only open 3 days a week! 📍Aichi Prefecture Mattel Garden & Cafe 🚃 15 minutes walk from JR Tokaido Main Line "Minami Otaka Station" 👀Open only on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays #0 yen trip January 2025

📍Okayama Goldfish Museum This time, we will introduce the Goldfish Museum, which is mainly located in AEON Malls around the country. The photo we introduced is from the Okayama exhibition, but it seems that it has now come to the AEON Mall in Okazaki, Aichi Prefecture! The quality is professional and it is definitely worth going. The producer of the work is GA☆KYO. His real name is written as 'Masanori', which means 'Masa', so the mark is 'Masa'. Gakyo wanted to collaborate with Katsushika Hokusai, who he admires, on an aquarium, so he created a gorgeous and gorgeous exhibition with a Japanese theme! If it comes to your area, please be sure to visit it! #0yentravelJanuary2025

#getgoing2025 I booked this hotel soon after it opened so received a rather large discount. It’s an honest 6-minute walk from the airport. The hotel is beautifully designed with a great bar and restaurant, and also has a convenience store close by. Check-in was smooth and the staff are super friendly. The room is very comfortable with all the amenities one could need plus a huge comfy bed. Anyway, if you can spend a few extra yen, then I’d recommend this hotel highly for its convenience, quality and comfort.

#getgoing2025 Right in the center. Very clean and hospitality highly recommended for all. Surrounding ramen places are great and affordable. The 7th floor sauna and exercise center,worldclass and sanitary. Subway to airport.just a block away And for any traveller's this is the place to be safe and spend less time worrying where to go. The location is decent: 3 minutes walk to nearest subway station, one stop to the main Nagoya station. Most shopping areas within 15-30 minutes walk. 24 hour mall right next doors. Family mart directly downstairs.

#getgoing2025 Visiting Inuyama, Japan, was a journey through time. The highlight was Inuyama Castle, one of Japan's oldest wooden castles, offering panoramic views of the Kiso River. Strolling through the castle town, I explored Urakuen Garden, home to the Jo-an teahouse, a masterpiece of early Edo period architecture. The town's rich history and well-preserved sites made it a memorable experience.

#getgoing2025 Inuyama is one of Japan's oldest surviving castles and considered Japan's National Treasure. We came on January 3 and in December, it recently completed its renovation. Our combo ticket included entrance but normally entrance costs 550 yen. If you go inside, you must remove your shoes. They will give you a bag to carry your shoes. Then you can go all the way up to the balcony and get great views. I did actually like my visit here. It is not a big castle and not much to see inside. However, I liked it more than the Nagoya Castle. I do recommend getting the train and entrance combo ticket.

#getgoing2025 The hotel is well located with a great view of the castle. The outside is beautifully landscaped, and we got a warm greeting. The inside of the hotel is just as lovely, and it's not just the main area as with some hotels, but extends to corridors and rooms. The bathroom was not as big as some but equally not as small as others. There was also a small balcony. Staff are friendly and efficient, and there is a nice bar. Highly recommended!

#getgoing2025 A 10 min walk from Inuyama Castle, this quaint Japanese garden with tea house is nice, quiet and peaceful. Although went in winter, the garden is very well kept and green. It isn't big, if you stroll slowly, you can probably finish walking in it in 30~40 min. There were only a few visitors (probably due to it being a cold day). You can purchase a tea coupon with the entrance ticket (you get a discount if you visited Inuyama castle). It includes a special Japanese dessert (wakashi) and traditional powdered green tea.

#getgoing2025 Visiting Tsugao Kannon Bodhisattva at Jakkoin Temple in Inuyama was a profound experience. The temple, nestled on Mount Tsugao, is renowned for its thousand-armed Kannon Bosatsu, symbolizing boundless compassion. The ascent to the main hall involves a series of steps, but a small cable car is available for those who prefer it. Upon reaching the top, I was rewarded with panoramic views of the surrounding landscapes, including glimpses of Inuyama Castle. The tranquility of the temple, especially during the autumn months when the foliage transforms into vibrant hues, left a lasting impression. It's a serene retreat that beautifully marries natural beauty with spiritual solace.

#getgoing2025 Great stay! Modern hotel. The lobby and design were beautiful. The breakfast was great with a good selection of options and definitely worth it since the kids are free as a member. Our family was so impressed. The rooms were very big for Japan standards. The location is a 7 since it's a bit of a walk to the nearest train station (13 min-25 min depending on the station), but I would stay here again and I would recommend it because it's good value. About a 5 min walk away are a lot of restaurants, but immediately around you is just a 7-11 and of course vending machines. Our room had 2 double beds (also rare in Japan). The beds were really comfortable. The value of the price was great. The bathroom/shower/bath tub were excellent and the room very well planned. Check in and check out were fast too. We were really happy with our stay.

#getgoing2025 It is one of the most important Shinto shrines in Japan as it’s where the Kusanagi no Tsurugi is supposedly enshrined—the sword is one of the three Japanese Imperial Regalia. Like most such key shrines, it’s surrounded by a leafy park and oasis and so you’ll feel like you’re in another world the moment you walk through the Torii gate. I certainly did and loved the experience. The wooden shrines buildings are fantastically picturesque too, while the mini sword museum, located in a modern annexe, gives you the change to “test” the weight of ancient Japanese swords. As for transportation, it’s a 5 -7 minutes walk from Exit 2 of Atsuta Jingu Nishi subway station. The route is very straight forward and you’ll know where to turn when you see the Torii gate. PS: Many displays and signs here do not have English text. I strongly recommend you read up online before visiting, especially the legend of Kusanagi.

📍INAX Live Museum You can see lots of beautiful tiles! You can also try making mud balls, so it's a spot that people of all ages can enjoy! 【INFORMATION】 INAX Live Museum 📮1-130 Okueicho, Tokoname City, Aichi Prefecture, 479-0823 🕑10:00-17:00 🗓️Closed: Wednesdays #0 Yen Trip November

Korankei is located in Asuke Town, Okumikawa National Park, backed by Mount Iimori. It is situated at the intersection of the upper reaches of the Asuke River and the Yahagi River. It is said that the monk Sanei from Kojakuji Temple on Mount Iimori planted the first maple trees in 1634. By the end of the Taisho period, local residents had planted a large number of Japanese maples and large-leaved maples along the creek, creating the magnificent scenery we see today. In autumn, over 4,000 maple trees on the mountains gradually turn yellow, green, yellow, orange, and red, creating a landscape known as the 'Five-Colored Maples.' The reflections dye the surface of the Yahagi River red, adding to the beauty of the flowing water, making it the most beautiful autumn foliage scenery in the Tokai region.

Located in the middle of the main street 'Honmachi Street' in the castle town, this café is renovated from a 100-year-old traditional house.

Sunglasses Buddha, Aichi Prefecture, Japan Red sunglasses are so cool. "The trendiest Buddha in history." Address: In Aichi Prefecture, sunglasses refer to the traffic lights at the railway crossing Under a specific angle, the big Buddha in the distance really seems to be wearing a pair of glasses, forming the spectacle of the "big Buddha with sunglasses". So the locals still affectionately call it "Sunglasses Buddha". [Chin] Because the location of the photo is on the ordinary level crossing near the Big Buddha, next to the road, please pay attention to safety when taking pictures ~ The Great Buddha is the largest Buddha statue owned by an individual.

#cherryblossom2024 Cherry 🌸 Trees in Aichi Prefecture City Looking back through the tunnel where can see the window with a hole in the exit! The picture I posted is close to the exit, so it's small, but if you look further away, you can see the tunnel exit with the black effect🤗. The scenery where you can see the Kawazu cherry 🌸 blossom trees over the tunnel is very beautiful. A very beautiful view of the river tree across the tunnel. The Akita-Guchi Line, which was closed 50 years ago, seems to have been running from Nagasaki to Taguchi 🛣️.

#nagoyatrip Korankei is a hidden gem nestled in nature's embrace. The vibrant autumn colors create a picturesque landscape that's truly breathtaking. The peaceful ambiance, coupled with well-maintained walking trails, makes it a perfect escape from the hustle and bustle. Whether you're a nature enthusiast or just seeking tranquility, Korankei is a must-visit destination. The seasonal beauty and serene surroundings make it an unforgettable experience.

Japanese blueberry picking experience This taste is too good Japanese orchard picking is very distinctive, June to August is a good time for blueberries. It takes only 30 minutes to drive from Nagoya to "Blueberry Farm Okazaki", where more than 40 kinds of blueberries are grown, and a variety of desserts using blueberries are also available. I was able to sell 2,000 cups of blueberries in a summer. The cup is attracted, it is said that this is a place where you can fully taste the blueberries. . Blueberry is rich in anthocyanins, very nutritious, can enhance vision, prevent eye fatigue, blueberries here are original, do not fight drugs, so you can pick and eat while eating, but also because they do not fight pesticides There will be a lot of small bugs. It is recommended to wear long sleeves to properly block some small bugs. ~ . Less fruits have turned from light green to dark blue, and a bunch of fruits are crystal clear and extraordinarily attractive. When the blueberry fruit matures, the color is purple, and the trees are pink and light blue. We are careful when we pick them up, for fear of accidentally injuring these unfinished elves. . Where can be the background wall for girls to take pictures, and when they are enough, they will be combined with blueberries. Inexplicably, they feel like they are in a French farm. Look at the basket full of blueberry fruits. It is quite a sense of accomplishment. . We tasted the cheesecake and blueberry pizza made by the owner in this blueberry garden in Okazaki. It is not sweet at all. It may be the sweet and sour taste of blueberries and the sweetness of the cake. Unspeakable delicious! Traveling to Japan during the summer vacation, you can make an appointment in advance, and the fun of doing your own work is beyond words. . The price of fruit in Japan is very high, and it is easy to eat in this unscrupulously. If you feel that you still have something to do, you can buy some blueberry jam and bring it back. I don't know if I can make a blueberry pizza at home. Anyway, I can't forget this taste. . address
