Getting to the main highlight of our Nagoya vacation – seeing Arashi in concert. It’s been a few years since I’ve seen them live. To be honest, while they are still one of my fave groups, I haven’t been following them as much in recent years. I also haven’t been loving their new album, but I was hopeful they would include some of their recent singles on the setlist for Digitalian. =) Even before getting to the main event, we…
After waking up the next morning, my sis and I decided to head down to the onsen one last time. The ladies onsen and the mens onsen alternate in the morning, so we managed to try both during our stay. Once we got back to our room, they were starting to put away our futons to set up for breakfast. As with our dinner, breakfast was incredibly extravagant. Everything looked just as good as it tasted.

A little background information on Myoryuji. While it may look like a regular temple from the outside, it was in fact…

Breakfast was a mix of eastern and western dishes. It was the first time I was served scrambled eggs and English tea while staying at a traditional inn. One of the nice ladies who served us even offered to take a photo for the three of us while we were having breakfast. (Probably…
I felt a ton better the next morning and thankfully my appetite also returned. We went downstairs for breakfast in the lobby, then checked out and left our suitcases with the concierge. We only carried our backpacks with us as we made our way over to the Meitetsu bus station to pick up our tickets for Shirakawago. It was my first time taking a bus in Japan (with the exception of the airport limos I’ve taken to Narita). I’m not…
