Intrigued by what the ‘Land of the Rising Sun’ has to offer as a tourist destination? Then make plans to check out the marvellous city of Nagoya where you are bound to encounter the best of Japanese culture.
When should you go?
Come the season of spring (March to May), Nagoya transforms into one gigantic garden with its streets showcasing flowers of varying hues. In short, this time of year brings outstanding weather that would be conducive to getting about. With Fall (September to November), pleasant weather spells cover Nagoya with the outdoors bathed in orange and bright red, and thus, to the social media fanatic, this time would be perfect to strike that all-important pose.
Accommodation
Nagoya’s accommodation facilities cost a lot less than those in Tokyo or Osaka. Although prices tend to be influenced by the seasons, budget hotel rooms will have you pocketing out not more than 8,200 Yen per night. For a more budget-friendly option, a bed at a local hotel dormitory can be picked up for around the 2,000 Yen mark.
Legoland Japan
The country’s 1st Legoland amusement park pulls out all the stops presenting an array of value additions for those of all ages. However, know that Legoland Japan would appeal more to younger visitors with its 7 themed zones and rides serving up quite an engaging encounter. While only those over the age of 2 will have to pay the entrance fee (4,700 Yen), the attraction’s rotating Observation Tower should not be missed out on as from here you can watch patrons having the time of their lives.
Nagoya Castle
Beautified by two golden fish-like shachihoko statues on its roof and boasting a rich heritage that dates back to the Edo period, Nagoya Castle is found a mere 1.7 km from Travelodge Nagoya Sakae which is one of the modern hotels in Nagoya, Japan. As a designated National Treasure, visitors will be well placed to examine its exquisite designs that were brought to life by Shogun, Tokugawa Ieyasu.
