Day 1: Bound for Nagoya
11 April 2019, Thursday
もう一度、日本へ行った！
[Once again, to Japan!]
On the exact same flight that I took back in November last year, we were all checked in before midnight on the 10th and ready for our 10D9N Nagoya-Shizuoka-Mt. Fuji Trip on our 12th year friend anniversary.
Flight in-meal (SG to Nagoya)
First stop: Tsurumai Park
Map: 1-chōme-1 Tsurumai, Shōwa-ku, Nagoya, Aichi 466-0064, Japan
For the months prior to the trip, we were always concerned with the possibility that we might not be able to catch the cherry blossoms in time. Since we had so much time from arrival to check-in, we planned a visit to the Tsurumai Park in hopes to catch what we could before the season officially ended.
The blue skies... the falling petals... 😍
Osu Kannon Temple
Map: 2-chōme-21-４７ Ōsu, Naka-ku, Nagoya, Aichi 460-0011, Japan
After spending about an hr and a half just enjoying the spring feels (and partially suffering the effects of the overnight flight), we went off to Osu Kannon Temple to kill off some time.
The flock of pigeons were pretty scary, they are always scavenging and surrounding people with food on them.
Into the shopping street we go...
First Cabin TKP Nagoya Station

Checked into our business class cabin, I was in awe at how spacious it was. There was even a TV in each cabin. There were certain restrictions/guidelines we had to follow since it was a shared space, but this is the perfect lodging, imo, for solo travels.
Picture doesn't do this any justice as I was being really conscious about our surroundings but anyway, bad shots are shots taken too. 😂
Tonkatsu Matsunoya (松のや 名駅西口店)

Our dinner for the day before we retreat to our comfy cabins for the night... at Matsunoya! Ticket vending machine style. 😊
