This was really the first time I traveled by myself, since I had been traveling so much with Eri-san. However, it wasn&#8217;t hard to navigate my way through the subway.<\/p>\n<p>I got to Nagoya Castle a little early, so I had to wait around for the opening at 9:00am. After paying my admission, I made it inside the grounds. It was great going early in the morning since there was hardly anyone there. I toured the outer grounds of the castle before making my way inside. The castle itself wasn&#8217;t terribly big, so I got through the floors pretty quickly and made my way to the observation deck at the top. <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/jenny-chan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/nagoya021.jpg\" alt=\"Nagoya Castle\" title=\"Nagoya Castle\" width=\"333\" height=\"500\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-641\" srcset=\"https:\/\/jenny-chan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/nagoya021.jpg 333w, https:\/\/jenny-chan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/nagoya021-199x300.jpg 199w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 333px) 100vw, 333px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/jenny-chan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/nagoya031.jpg\" alt=\"Nagoya Castle\" title=\"Nagoya Castle\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-642\" srcset=\"https:\/\/jenny-chan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/nagoya031.jpg 500w, https:\/\/jenny-chan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/nagoya031-300x199.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>As I was coming down there was a group of really nice <em>obaasans <\/em>taking photos by the life size <em>Kinshachi<\/em> on display.

As I headed back to the subway, I caught one last glance at the Nagoya City Hall in the distance. Then it was back to the hotel to grab my luggage.<\/p>\n<p>Eri-san came to get me a while later. I&#8217;m so grateful to her for taking me to the airport. I wouldn&#8217;t have been able to manage my luggage without her help. The ride to the airport was quick and I got there with plenty of time to spare. I was actually there too early because there wasn&#8217;t even a counter setup for Air Canada! However I got my luggage sent and bid farewell to Eri-san. I cannot express how grateful I am to you.<\/p>\n<p>\u672c\u5f53\u306b\u3042\u308a\u304c\u3068\u3046\u3054\u3056\u3044\u307e\u3059\uff01<\/p>\n<p>I still had some time prior to boarding to walk around Centrair. I went up to the viewing deck to check out the flights. It&#8217;s amazing they have an open air observation deck. Later I went and walked around the 4th Floor Sky Town. I grabbed a bite to eat at one of the restaurants serving unadon. Another yummy specialty from Nagoya.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/jenny-chan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/nagoya07.jpg\" alt=\"Centrair Airport\" title=\"Centrair Airport\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-646\" srcset=\"https:\/\/jenny-chan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/nagoya07.jpg 500w, https:\/\/jenny-chan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/nagoya07-300x199.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/jenny-chan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/nagoya08.jpg\" alt=\"Centrair Airport\" title=\"Centrair Airport\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-647\" srcset=\"https:\/\/jenny-chan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/nagoya08.jpg 500w, https:\/\/jenny-chan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/nagoya08-300x199.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>+++<\/p>\n<p>Time to conclude my thoughts on this trip to Aichi &#8211; It was an unbelievable experience doing a homestay.
