It is not as crowded as Tokyo or Osaka, so I was able to leisurely explore, and it was a place full of delicious food and things to see. The first day of the trip started with Nagoya Castle. The magnificent castle decorated with golden Shachihoko felt majestic at first glance, and inside, I could see the history and culture of the Edo period in detail. The gardens and walking paths around the castle were beautiful, so just walking slowly was healing. After that, I visited the Osu Shopping Arcade connected to Osu Kannon Temple. The temple had a quiet atmosphere, and the shopping arcade was full of traditional souvenir shops and street food restaurants. The misokatsu and tenmusu I ate here were impressive for their rich flavor that can only be found in Nagoya. I couldn't miss out on Nagoya's must-eat gourmet **Hitsumabushi (eel rice bowl)**. The three ways to eat the crispy grilled eel, first with green onions and wasabi, and finally with warm broth poured over it, were really special. On the second day, I visited the Nagoya City Science Museum. The world's largest planetarium was truly overwhelming, and I was able to experience the vividness of traveling through space. There were many exhibits that both children and adults could enjoy, so it was recommended as a family trip destination. In the evening, I enjoyed shopping and walking around the Sakae area. The Nagoya TV Tower and Oasis 21 were lit up, creating a sophisticated night view, and there were many cafes and shops, making it perfect for a leisurely stroll. Nagoya was a city that had history, culture, cuisine, and modern entertainment all packed into a short itinerary. I was able to experience another charm of Japan in a relaxed atmosphere that was not crowded.
