This popular spot definitely lives up to the hype! I came in just to give it a try and ended up becoming a huge fan. The grilled flying fish broth was incredibly aromatic, and the noodles soaked up all that flavor. Every bite was so satisfying. I kept thinking about giving up while waiting in line, but after eating, all I could say was, “I’m so glad I stayed!”

Oasis 21
The Oasis 21 is famous for its symbolic glass roof, also known as the “Spaceship-Aqua ”. The facility has a bus terminal and is also connected to the subway and the Meitetsu line .Located within the heart of Nagoya city, the facility is known to be a photogenic location due to the illuminations lighting up the skyline.
This was my first visit to Oasis 21. I thought it was just a transit hub, but it completely blew me away at night!
The glass roof, known as the “Spaceship-Aqua,” is truly unique. You can stroll across it while enjoying nighttime views of the entire Sakae area. Once the lights come on, the nearby Nagoya TV Tower lights up too, creating a gorgeous scene. Even casual phone shots turn out great. I recommend visiting around sunset so you can experience both the daytime and nighttime atmosphere. It’s definitely worth adding to your Nagoya itinerary. -

Nagoya Castle
One of the largest castles in Japan, built in the early Edo period on the orders of Tokugawa Ieyasu, the founder of the Edo shogunate, the five-story castle tower is topped with shining two Kinshachi, one male and one female that has become a symbol of Nagoya.
It was drizzling when I visited Nagoya Castle. I thought there might be fewer people, but I was way off—it’s a popular attraction, so it was still packed with tourists!
Nagoya Castle truly deserves its reputation as one of Japan’s three great castles. The most eye-catching feature is the pair of gleaming golden shachihoko atop the castle tower. They stood out even more against the gray sky and looked incredibly majestic. As I slowly explored the grounds, every corner felt steeped in history, and the rain added a unique atmosphere. This is definitely worth including in your Nagoya itinerary. It’s not only beautiful for photos, but also offers a wonderful glimpse into the Edo period. -

Sushi Dai
Located inside the bustling Toyosu Market-Tokyo’s hub for fresh seafood-Sushi Dai is a famous sushi restaurant that consistently draws long lines. Being situated within the market allows the chefs direct access to top-quality ingredients. The head chef’s expert judgment ensures only the very best seafood is selected, prioritizing freshness and flavor over brand or origin.
One of the must-try restaurants at Toyosu Market is Sushi Dai. I thought arriving early would be enough, but when I got there a little after 6:00 a.m., there was already a long line. People really go all out for a taste of this fresh sushi!
The wait takes patience, but the moment I sat down and tried the first piece, I knew it was worth it. The chefs prepare each piece right in front of you. The fish is fresh with a subtle sweetness, and every bite highlights the natural flavor of the ingredients. Simple, yet incredibly satisfying. -
