Oh, we discovered a map in English here.
Look at this.
So where have we been so far?
-Tokyo, Yokohama...
-No, baby. No. -...Nagoya.
-Tomorrow, we go to Osaka. -Ah, okay.
-I want to know... -Tomorrow, Osaka.
-What about the map? -It's not on the map.
[music]
These colors on the ground indicate what is the correct line you want to get.
There are multiple trains here. Not just the one you want.
Very organized.
[music]
Hello again from Nagoya, Japan.
Today, we're starting the day in one of the most venerated shrines
in the entire country.
This one right here.
It's called Atsuta Jingū.
Wow, it's like you're entering a totally different world.
Look at this.
Where to?
Look at this.
Gordon, you figured it out?
-No. -You understood all the map?
-No. -No? [laughs]
Okay, so what's your best bet?
That way? That way?
I guess more people are going that way, huh?
-I don't know.
-Learn Japanese, come on. [laughs]
[music]
This is a Shinto Shrine.
So, remember all the Shinto traditions I explained in the Tokyo videos.
No information here in English at all,
but I imagine this might be explaining why this shrine is so important.
And here's the reason:
In Japan, they have three sacred treasures.
These are very important culturally, historically,
of national importance for Japanese people.
And one of these treasures is located right here in the shrine.
It's a sword.
The other treasures are a mirror
located in a shrine in the city of Ise, nearby,
and the last treasure is a jewel.
That is inside the Imperial Palace in Tokyo.
These treasures represent three virtues:
courage, the sword,
wisdom, the mirror,
and benevolence, the jewel.
[music]
We discovered a map in English here.
Look at this.
You want to be possessive about the map?
[laughs]
That's fine. It just means you have to guide me.
So, so where have you been so far?
-Tokyo, Yokohama...
-No, baby. No. -...Nagoya.
-Tomorrow, we go to Osaka. -Ah, okay.
-I want to know... -Tomorrow, Osaka.
-What about the map? -It's not on the map.
-Personal charm.
-Wow.
-It's ten bucks, isn't it? -Yeah.
Like in other Shinto Shrines,
here you can buy amulets, check your fortune.
-Do you want to check your fortune? -No, no.
-Yeah. -I'm fortunate already.
-Mmm. -Look where I am.
Yes, so am I.
[music]
There's also a museum here, too.
But if you're expecting to see the sword here,
no, nobody can see it.
Only the emperor and very few priests.
There are not even pictures of the sword or the other two treasures,
but just knowing that it is here
already makes this place very special for Japanese people.
[music]
No way, there's a heart there.
Wow.
The only thing I could understand is that this is a weapon
from the 15th century.
Inside the museum, you cannot film anything.
Entry is ¥300.
[music]
Wow, look at this place.
This is not a closed mall. We're on the streets.
-Lost? -No.
We just need to take...
It's either this way or is it down one more and...
In Nagoya, you can also see some other important temples and shrines.
So, we came here to the neighborhood of Ōsu to check out a few.
And it is so interesting.
We arrived in this huge shopping area.
Many, many stores everywhere you look.
In between the stores, you see a few temples like this one here.
This is Bansho-Ji, a very different one.
[music]
This got to be where you find the best deals in Nagoya
based on the amount of people.
Here, you need a jacket like this to be a professional photographer.
I don't want to be professional.
-No? -Total amateur the rest of my life.
-[laughs]
Look at this. How interesting.
It's for you to hang bottles like this,
and then you can hang on a belt or your purse.
It's kind of expensive, huh?
$10.
What is this?
It might be for belt.
Now, the tax-free shop here. You see this all over Japan.
To be able to enjoy this, you got to have your passport.
So, always carry your passport here in Japan.
A shrine here, Fuji Sengen Shrine.
[music]
-Charming, huh? -Yes.
-It's lovely. -Yeah.
-Thank you. -Not you, it's the shrine.
-Oh. -[laughs]
Oh, baby.
Look at the store.
The tiny door.
Oh.
Alice on Wednesday.
[music]
So busy inside, you can barely see what they have to offer.
When you walk until the end of the shopping street,
you arrive at another temple here.
This is Ōsu Kannon, the main temple in this area.
Ōsu Kannon is a Buddhist temple from the 13th or 14th centuries,
but the interesting thing is that it was not built here.
It was relocated here because of flooding in the previous area.
[music]
This temple is really big.
And here they have a collection
of 15,000 classic Chinese and Japanese books.
One book in particular here is very important.
It's from the 1300s.
It's called the "Records of Ancient Matters"
and it describes the ancient mythological history of Japan.
[music]
After a short train ride, we arrived here at Nagoya Station.
This is probably the main station here in Nagoya
and actually this is the world's largest train station by floor area.
It is enormous.
You won't believe the number of things you can do in or around this station here.
This is where we arrived via Shinkansen
and our hotel is within walking distance,
and there are so many shops and restaurants right here.
It is really amazing.
Everything interconnected,
so you don't even need to worry about the weather.
This is a huge mall here, very sophisticated.
Look at the brands.
This is the major department store here,
it occupies several stories.
Look at how cool.
In every train station in Japan, you find lockers like this
And people really use.
See? All these here, they're all full.
¥400.
And these are not very big.
They won't fit a carry-on.
Do you see the size compared to my hand?
"Look for an empty locker."
Oh, look at how many there are.
So, this one here, where we are, is full,
but all of the green ones are empty.
I can find space over there.
Let's step outside for you to understand why this station is massive.
If you're in search of views,
there are lots of restaurants and cafes in all of these buildings here.
With amazing views.
We're in search of a view, too, but we're going to a proper observatory.
It's in that building over there.
And actually, I didn't even need to come out here,
I just came to show you around.
It's all interconnected underground.
But before, let's go back inside to get something to eat.
Entire food alley here. So many little restaurants.
Lines in every single restaurant here.
We're gonna try another specialty here in Nagoya.
It's their miso sauce.
It's their typical sauce here.
Normally, you eat with pork.
Woman: [in Japanese]
So this is miso katsu.
-Yeah.
-Arigatou gozaimasu (thank you very much).
Ah, what can you tell? Good?
-Yeah.
The dish comes with rice and a soup
and cabbage.
Gordon's dish only came with the soup.
This sauce is...
Wow.
A little bit of soy.
It reminds me of shoyu a little, but also sweet.
What does the sauce remind you?
-It reminds me of shoyu. -Yeah.
Mine, I kind of ordered by mistake.
At the picture, it appeared to have the miso sauce, too,
but I don't think it does here.
Not like Gordon's at least.
But whatever this is, tastes like chicken.
It is really, really soft and good.
So soft.
Really tender.
Mine definitely tastes different from yours.
But both are good, both are really good.
I think I even prefer his because his is very unique.
Mine, it's fantastic and delicious,
but I feel like I could eat this anywhere in the world.
His is very unique to here.
It's a totally different taste.
Both dishes might actually have miso.
But they taste different because mine is on chicken
and Gordon's is pork.
Both are fantastic.
This is heaven, the soup here.
Who would have guessed the train station food could be so good in Japan, huh?
-Yes, it is. -It is.
-You must try. -Yes, absolutely.
It's not very cheap either, you know? It was 30 dollars.
Just like a regular restaurant.
-Yeah. -It's not burgers.
-Not burgers, definitely not.
-Yeah, they have really good food. -Not french fries.
-No. They have really good food here everywhere you go.
-I'm out of here. Tchau (bye)
[laughs]
What was that?
You already get an amazing view from the elevator.
And we didn't even buy our tickets yet.
-Credit card?
-Only cash -Only cash? Okay.
-Arigatou gozaimasu (thank you very much). -Arigatou gozaimasu (thank you very much).
-It's so modern.
Everything is so modern.
Just need to accept credit cards now.
Seriously, a lot of tourist attractions and restaurants in Japan don't.
[music]
Beautiful.
The twin towers right here.
I had no idea the castle is this close.
-But it's that far.
-Not, it's so close right here.
-But it's that far. -It's not far, it's right here.
[music]
So, you should definitely pick a good day to come here
because look at this.
Not covered.
This is actually the highest open-air observation deck
in the entire Japan.
[music]
Perfect timing, huh?
Beautiful sky today.
I can see all the way to the bay here.
Oh, there's the Shinkansen coming.
That's the bullet train.
Look at the speed compared to a regular train.
But this is not full speed yet, it just left the station.
It's one after the other. They don't stop.
[music]
If you're just arriving here on my channel,
watch another video.
Nagoya is the third city we visit here in Japan.
So I'm leaving this playlist here
with videos also in Tokyo and Yokohama.
And tomorrow, we're going to Osaka, so see you there.
If you like this video, if you thought it was useful to you,
let me know.
Click the button.
Pretty cool, huh?
How did you enjoy your day with me in Nagoya?
-It was a great day in Nagoya.
-Ready for Osaka?
-Some sake?
-Osaka. -Oh, yeah.
-Sake, too.
-Both. -[laughs]
I love this elevator. It is so fast.
-It doesn't serve beer.
Who would have guessed the train station food
could be so good, huh?
Oh, you gotta try strange, strange,
strange tasting food in train...
in Japan.
-Yeah. -What are you talking about?
-I'm tongue twisted. I can't speak.
-The store is for you. -No, that store is for you.
-The store is for you. -The store is for you.
Oh, my God. Who names a store Selfish?
Do you want a personal charm?
You don't need. You have one.
Oh. -This one.
-Escape a disaster.
I can't believe you're calling me a disaster.
-That one.
-Find a lovely one now.
-I am, I look in the mirror
Look in the mirror?
Did you talk about yourself?
[laughs]
-You're so bad... -Você é devagar (you're slow)
You're so bad today.
Are you following me?
-Earthquake. -Uh-huh.
Wow, you can see the washing machine status here
Let's see, let's see what it shows
Oh my! Look at this one
30 minutes. 30 minutes have passed, clothes are there waiting
Two vacant and one still 41 minutes to go
That is so cool!
So you just go down if you know that you have a machine to use
How nice!
