in this video I'm gonna show you guys my
top 10 things to do in Nagoya so the
funny thing about Nagoya is if you ever
ask someone from Nagoya what did it do
in Nagoya they'll always say nothing but
in this video I'm gonna prove them wrong
for those of you who are coming here for
the Rugby World Cup and don't worry
we're gonna be visiting you at a stadium
and I'm going to show you the around
that area as well oh and before I start
if you want to know what I'm doing the
daily then definitely check out my
Instagram account and if you wanna help
support channel and check out the Tokyo
merch alright without further ado pack
up your Forks your knives your spoons
and your chopsticks cuz we're gonna go
on an eating adventure oh yeah and bring
some comfortable shoes since I'll be
taking you to my favorite spots as well
so Nagoya is a third most populated
urban area in Japan and it's a capital
of icy prefecture located in central
Japan it also members Toyota city which
is yes where the car manufacturer is
located but we'll get to that but this
is the jr nagoya station and if you're
coming from say tokyo or one of the
major cities are probably going to come
on the Shinkansen and this is the
station that you're gonna arrive in so
behind me you can see a clock tower and
an escalator area this is kind of like
the Time Square area here in Nagoya
station and where a lot of people come
to meet but also something to note if
you're trying to travel around Nagoya
you can't just travel around on the jr
there is a subway system here that's
separate to the jr and that'll get you
to like more of an extended parts of
Nagoya most likely you'll be using them
a Tetsu and subway lines mate it's this
gate is just underneath I may attach a
department store and if you keep walking
down to pase you'll find another line
Kintetsu but you will use it to get
around the area to use subways that go
down to the underground walkways and
simply follow the signs
number one miso katsu at Abbott oil so
one of the most famous foods in Nagoya
is miso katsu and this shop behind me
yeah batana has
some of the best miso katsu in all of
Nagoya only run negotiation but the
original shop is in the Apatow which is
a few stations away from here in fact
that's where the shop got its name yeah
with dawn tone at the end meeting pork
and it's on the ninth floor of the main
Tatsuya Catan which is right above the
major station in the building
what's also nice about this restaurant
area is they have a bunch of Nagoya
specialties here and some of the most
famous restaurants they have this miso
the economy you don't which is kind of
like a Musil hotpot and they also have
this hitsumabushi restaurant which is
kind of like an eel rice bowl also
famous and Nagoya don't worry we're
gonna cover all of it I want to take you
to some different spots but if you don't
have time this is actually kind of like
the best place to go because you can hit
all three spots in one go anyway that
all said let's go inside miso katsu is a
fried pork cutlet encrusted with panko
breadcrumbs then dipped into a Nagoya
special sweet miso sauce in fact Nagoya
is well known for its a love of miso so
it's only natural that they created this
miso infused fried sensation the sharp
itself dates back to 1947 and has 25
stores throughout Japan I went to my go
to the garage I said which means it
comes with two pieces of katsu and two
different sauces with shredded cabbage
rice and miso soup all right I am so
freakin excited to try this
I've been waiting literally all morning
to eat this the others whole culture and
I love it because you can enjoy two
different styles they freshly poured the
ridge it can be so right in front of you
is awesome and then this one here are
like a vs. trier sauce that's like a
cutter sauce but this one is like the
half-and-half and it would
be complete unless you have there's a
yellow mustard and this is some ground
that sesame going on there just to give
it a little bit of a crunch and look
after that loveliness I could just click
on Bob and it's me so click that bite
oh wow that is a succulent piece of pork
and also has like a nice and sweetness
to it which I really like a really thin
layer of bumper so it's really quite
thin it's nice right yeah I tried this
book now with Worcestershire sauce my
mouth is literally watering I took a
bite I felt like I was about to rule all
over my place it's that good and that
was one of Michael's favorite dishes in
the go ahead and she's from here so you
know what's good
oh and don't worry about Japanese
they've also got a full English menu
number two Oh sue Shelton guy just a
10-minute train ride from nagoya station
Oh sue is the most popular show than guy
AKA shopping street in nagoya it
consists of nine different shortened
guys have meshed together so you can
spend the entire day here this spot
originally started as an otaku
electronic store paradise but then
vintage clothing shops started to pop up
now it's a mixture of otaku hipster and
food spots with a variety of
international restaurants like brazilian
vietnamese chinese and more all setting
up shop in the recent years so this area
could literally be my favorite place in
all of Nagoya you ever been to Tokyo
it's kind of like a mix between
Shimokitazawa I'm a yokel and just like
the street area and the vibe it's been
recently like revitalized and keep seem
like an influx of more shops been a lot
younger a lot more hip and I just really
enjoy the vibe and in fact it has a lot
of thrift stores if you're coming here
and you want to do is I'm shopping you
want to get some like old-school flavor
then this is your spot I almost want to
move here because it's just so chill and
who knows maybe I'll become Paulo for
Melissa I don't know maybe not all right
let me show you around
and this way here is like a mini
electronics store Evan we've got Mario
and even Ultraman and if you're looking
for anime and manga related stuff they
have month at okay just behind me and I
think we just hit a Pokemon spot
everyone here is playing Pokemon and
there's even a shrine at the end of the
street number three your Nagi bocce
Central Market located in the heart of
Nagoya this 100 year old market is about
13,000 square meters and consists of 300
stores source from local harbors such as
cheetah Peninsula Macao Bay and Issei
Bay so you know the seafood is fresh so
this place is like my mini skeezy in
Nagoya since we are here doing dune time
most of the shops already closed so if
you come here in the morning then you're
gonna find a lot more than fish shops
open so one thing that kind of separates
it from Asia market there's a lot less
street food shops per se and you'll find
a lot of sit-down shops and one of the
things I love the most is that you're
able to walk around and you can see what
people are eating so you can kind of
like see that the portion sizes you can
actually see the dishware and some
restaurants you can only see a menu
which makes it super helpful to decide
what you want to eat so one thing you'll
notice with a lot of these shops is that
you won't see a lot of tourists just a
lot of locals here which is nice because
you know that you're getting local
prices number for Nagoya castle have fun
storming the castle
who knows where that's from anyway
Nagoya castle was built in 1612 by
Tokugawa no es su the castle was burned
down during World War two and was later
rebuilt in 1959 in fact the IT area
itself played a key role in Japanese
history three of the most important
world owners were based in this area so
were the castle of all castles in Japan
in fact Nagoya castle was the first
castle in Japan to be dedicated and
national treasure it's actually known
for having the Sachi HoCo on top it's
kind of like a golden at tigerfish at
the top of the roof also in Nagoya
castle has a more floor space than any
other castle in Japan unfortunately we
can't go inside of it today
cuz it's closed for another like four
years apparently due to construction but
you can go into the Hamato palace which
is pretty dope let me show you inside
home aru Goethe and Palace was under
construction for 10 years until just
last year it served as residents for
Shogunate and is Fanta Lee decorated
with gold covered walls and elegant
japanese-style paintings and right by
the castle there's this place called in
sha Chi yokocho and it has a lot of
popular Nagoya restaurants so if you're
coming to the castle and you're looking
for a place to eat then this is not
actually a bad place and so let me give
you a list of all of the top spots in
this area that you should definitely
check out if you're into doing gotta try
the miso Neko me you don't at Yamamoto
yeah so home game they also have a
hitsumabushi eel restaurant and of
course the yeah baton shop that I showed
you earlier so now I'm taking you to a
100 year old hitsumabushi eel restaurant
luckily it's only a three minute walk
from Sakai a station but just a little
warning you can't make a reservation so
expect to wait in line during peak hours
or visit between lunch and dinner like
me so one thing about this restaurant
they have a fish pond just right outside
this is an annoying specialty called
hitsumabushi you can see them nice crisp
tender in this not yet part it's a cut
and really really the thin strips
it has smells it's so good it's taken
our first bite
that is amazing cannot go wrong with
this cannot this one has a nice crunchy
texture to issues you can see right
there like how will it speed that is and
the sauce itself that's coated on the
rice it's a little bit sweet but not too
sweet I just can't get enough for the
thing is there's actually three ways to
eat this so the first way to eat the
dish is to simply eat it with rice and
the second way is to add herbs green
onions and wasabi all right
let's taste this onion wasabi paradise
double damn that's good and wasabi is
another like flavor on top of that
flavor that is amazing third way is to
actually put some green tea in it or the
other place before it and they have
actually used kind of like a broth but
on the bowl when you're here they
specialize in putting green tea that's
just like a completely different flavor
that's great
where you know fellow I'm at Toyota's
Museum number six Toyota museum so if
you're into cars and I've gotta show you
this place let's go
all right now let's swing by Toyota
which is about an hour away from Nagoya
you've got a ticket to ride
fun fact in the city Toyota is named
after Toyota Motor Corporation which is
also located here in fact I recently
made a day in the life video at a trio -
car repair shop so check that out if you
haven't seen it yet so this is the first
car to implement a front engine and
rear-wheel drive it was actually a race
car and this one is steam-powered
it's like I just won the race the museum
showcases about a hundred and forty cars
from all over the world from different
time periods including domestic and
international manufacturers alike if you
love cars this place will get your motor
running look it's a closed car
motorsport put that thing in the sport
it's good good one thing to note there
is another tomato museum in Nagoya but
that one is more about the history of
the Toyota company itself if you're like
me and just want to see some dope cars
this is a spot
in 2009 and they only sold a 512 live
number seven Toyota Stadium so you were
to say them is about a 15-minute walk
away from Toyota station so if you come
to watch a game you might want to
consider a car unless you're drinking or
don't mind the walk in which case don't
drive so we're here in beautiful Toyota
Stadium now if you're looking to catch a
soccer match or what the rest of the
world says a football match you can
watch the Toyota grandpa's which is the
local football club they're kind of
funny the sounds like grandpa's like my
grandma and grandpa why would they named
it grandmas anyways you can watch them
here or if you're coming here for the
Rugby World Cup this is also what are
you gonna be viewing it but there's
actually one little secret spot that I
wanted to show you that's worth taking
note so the reason I love this place is
that it's fairly inexpensive it's I got
just like a little over a thousand yeah
it's like ten bucks and for like a full
complete set meal but you get this great
view look at that you see the bridge you
see the river just on the opposite side
of this room on the other side it
actually faces in
so you can see the game from that side
and so if you want to get some food and
then get to like watch the game you can
do it from there as well so one thing
you need to be aware of when going to
the men's toilets is that the toilets
itself there is a one Western and
there's two japanese-style toilets enjoy
using those number eight
Nagashima resort so Nagashima resort is
comprised of three different areas you
have the amusement park
you have the spa area and you have a
full real-deal outlet mall so although
this place is about 50 minutes away from
Nagoya you can get here easily via
shuttle bus I'll leave a link in the
description and in case you guys want to
find this place along with all the other
places in this video this place has 60
different attractions which is the
largest in all of Japan I was really
really excited to show you guys inside
today but unfortunately because of the
g20 event being hosted in Osaka this
year the park is closed right now and
unfortunately I can only show you the
outside so this one right behind me that
you can see is called steel dragon and
it's actually the longest roller coaster
in the entire world and this blue green
roller coaster it's called Acrobat and
it's supposed to be the largest flying
roller coaster in the entire world
there's even a water park in the summer
with all sorts of attractions that's so
definitely fun for the entire family and
there's a spire called ume no shima it's
essentially a baseball with body care
services and it even has hot stone
services if you're into that so
basically if you want an adrenaline high
you go here if you want to get relaxed
then you go to the spa and if you want
to go shopping they have a full album
all here that's one of the best in Japan
let me go show you now so this is the
mall area and more specifically it's
where all the local brands are so if
you're coming here you won't just find a
lot of
but you'll find a lot of Japanese brands
and check out this rich so there's all
these cool umbrellas of a number 9
parking area so if you're gonna go ahead
there's a chance that you might actually
be driving around to get around to all
of these different spots in the video if
that's the case then I definitely
recommend going to one of the parking
areas where you stop along the highway
if you go inside it's not just like a
little convenience store but they have
everything inside in fact we can almost
do a video just on street food here they
even have a lot of souvenirs let me show
you what it's like inside so we're at
the Korea highway Oasis which is one of
the biggest parking areas in Aichi and
it definitely has that entertainment
Park vibe look at that it's a whole tub
of miso so they have all these drinks at
the rest area but they don't sell
alcohol
I wonder why oh my gosh look at this
kuribon cider what the hell does that
taste like and look a frozen bag of
fried chicken even better just waiting
for my bus to arrive and since that's
key and Mae's house are nearby you can
get Ghibli Goods here too
right Michael which one do you want to
win that beige one okay I'm gonna win
this for you Michael I got it let's try
so and this is the newer side you can
see that there's a so much more space
Wow
but thing is there's actually not a lot
of people here I think what happens is
that travel companies and the buses take
people to the original place oh my fried
chicken is ready sorry we'll continue
this later look at this a fresh fried
chicken well it's not really fresh
because it was like in the shelf but she
actually refried it it's literally super
hot right now crunchy outer shell and
nice and tender in the middle that is
what I'm talking about and spicy ass so
this is what I wanted to show you guys
look there's a ferris wheel right here
I'll breast up with a real-deal ferris
wheel that's what I'm talking about and
check it out there's more people playing
Pokemon another Pokemon sighting and
number 10 trained noodles
kishi men at Sumiyoshi this is a
can't-miss Nagoya delight served on the
train platform
it's called kee Sherman which is a
unique style flat noodle noodle I
recommend eating it at Sumiyoshi
which I shops on most jr platforms both
local and Shinkansen I went to platform
3 on a local train line because it's not
as busy as the Shinkansen Side
it has a full menu oh and they have
fried food on the local platform shops
like this one
Michael ordered the original key cement
noodle with egg and shrimp tempura
toppings and I got that dark miso based
kishi man cuz you know I like my soup
thick with three C's so check this out I
got Mikey Shaymin right so let's have
this you can see how flat the noodles
are compared to regular noodles more of
the Buddha is kinda like a like a tofu
but let's try some of this fried
heart-stopping tempura the new look
they've actually soaked it in the broth
itself
and pride any minute in this house Mike
picks up on the drop on the egg itself
look at that that egg is just perfectly
cooked it's just kind of melted into the
soup I love how there's still a little
bit running all right so that concludes
my top things to do in Nagoya before we
