Three three-hour rides from Tokyo later, we reached Nagoya.
I was absolutely starving when we reached Nagoya because there was apparently no food cart on the local train. It was the Emperor’s birthday.
It was crowded everywhere. We couldn’t find a place to eat. We ended up que-ing in front of the Garett Popcorn stall. It was one of the best travel decisions I have made because they had Ogura butter popcorn. It was so delicious. I also bought a bigger Miaw.
Nagoya is so freaking cold that I made Fafa walk a few blocks to find a hidden ZARA and get another winter jacket.
I don’t feel at home in Nagoya.
It seems like a city where people come to go shopping. The streets are filled with cars and people. But at least we are staying in a very nice hotel called The Mitsui Garden. And we just had the most delicious dinner – the iconic Tebasaki chicken wings from a Yamachan outlet. I am writing this from a Starbucks across the hotel. We tried to get our favourite Strawberry cake, but no more cake is available in Takano bakery because everyone had bought it for Christmas.
