Besides snow? Are you going during winter? ramen museum. It's the only thing I know. Onsen too. If you're going next week, there is the Sapporo snow festival. It looks pretty cool. :thumbsup: They have like 3meters of snow or more. So if you like to ski, it's a nice place.


Anyone knows how long hanami last? Like if the flowers bloom April 1st, will they be gone by the end of the week?

So excited about my trip to Japan. My first stop would be Nagoya then proceed to Osaka Universal Studio. I'm already started to plan my shopping list.

Heard from recent news broadcast that its snowing in some parts of Japan now and might also affect some parts of Tokyo.

Make sure you eat some chicken while in Nagoya, the city is FAMOUS for it across all of Japan.

Here's a summary of the culinary specialties that Nagoya offers:

Here's some other recommendations for restaurants in Nagoya

Yes sure I will check it out. This will be my 3rd time in Nagoya and I usually have very tight schedule so can't really visit so many places.

But I know there is one train station located next to Nagoya Parco but I do not know if it does link to any underground shops? As I heard there is one nearby. Do you happen to know?

Last year when I went to Parco, its under renovation.

I don't have any links for you...oh so you've been to Nagoya already...well even if you're schedule is tight hopefully you'll have enough time to have at least one good meal. :)

Found something: http://www.parco-nagoya.com

IIRC EstherM lived there for a year. Maybe she knows nice places to visit and the places to avoid. :)

Well there you go! She would be a great person to talk to. :)

1. Have you seen the Miike movie filmed in Nagoya entitled Gozu? In real life it's not quite as weird.

2. The girls in Akita are some of the prettiest in the world. Even the girls that pump gas and hold the stop/slow sign at road construction sites. In terms of shear density of pretty girls in comparison with the rest of the population, Akita wins by a mile.

Do you know the link between bullet points one and two? :hehe:

I'd never be able to go in November. Shtupid work. Mind you, fall colours in Canada are unbeatable. ;)

Here I am ...
Well as far as I know there is no trainstation next to Parco :sweat: . But Parco is really close to the main shopping area Sakae (also a major metro stop and a local train stop) - you will find all department stores and lots of underground shops. Particulary nice is La Chic, a upmarket department store, really expensive but aimed at a younger crowd.
Maybe this link helps

PS: I still got lost in SakaeLs underground shops after 6 month ...
