Last weekend i went down to Nagoya with some Friends. The plan for the weekend was pretty basic, down Saturday morning and back Sunday afternoon via the Shinkansen, with plenty of food and drink in the middle.

Saturday was just that, we got in at lunchtime so it was straight down to a local restaurant for a few of Nagoya’s recommended dishes, i had the Miso Tonkatsu set … i think that’s what it was called.

Saturday night there was plenty of eating and drinking at a Friends place followed by a trip up to Karaoke around 10pm for the second party ….. bound to be a little more rowdy, so best done away from those trying to get some sleep.

Sunday after a slow start we were able to fit in a little sight seeing and Tokugawaen was the place suggested. It was a cracker of a day getting into the mid 20’s and there were no shortage of people out soaking up the great weather.

Unfortunately i forgot my camera so i had to make do with my phone which actually took some pretty good shots all things considered. Needless to say upon arrival back in Tokyo Sunday night it was off for a Sasebo Burger around the corner from home at Zatts, followed by a pretty quiet night on the couch … Monday still came round too quick.

“Tokugawaen is a Japanese garden, with numerous highlights around a pond in it’s center. It was the mainstream style of major daimyo gardens during the Edo period.

The sight of a clear stream flowing from the waterfall through the ravine, to the pond presenting an ocean, symbolically condenses the landscape of Japanese nature”

Interested in visiting Nagoya but not sure where it is? then why not check it out on a Map Of Japan

And for Chris, here’s the Sasebo Burger in question.
