Chubu region! Nagoya, the fourth biggest city in Japan is well-known for its amazing cuisine, onsen, style and culture. Indeed, the local restaurants in the region leaves no culinary wishes unfulfilled. The local restaurants beguile even the most pampered palates. Placing great value on fresh ingredients and products you can enjoy, kobe beef, tofu, miso, Unagi (eel), tebasaki chicken, red miso dishes like miso katsu the kishimen noodles, amongst others.
Fantastic.
My personal highlight was the restaurant “Wadakin” in Matsusaka. The restaurant located in Mie Prefecture is a joy and a must for every bucketlist is to try the world-famous Matsusaka beef, the animals are raised right here in harmony in between a gorgeous natural scenery.
Yummy.
Nagoya is easily to be reached, but far enough away to present something a little different.
The city differs greatly from Tokyo and Osaka, boasting its own traditional cuisine as well as a dialect unique to the area.
Traditional tea ceremonies and over thousand years-old shrines are reminders of a country steeped in rich history.
It is this combination of traditional and futuristic that makes Japan a surreal voyage for the senses.
For a taste of different life Nagoya provides a great glimpse into the wide spectrum of possibility in Japan. Nagoya is a special city, 2,3 millions makes it to a urban hotspot.
It’s the birthplace of Toyota.
And for many people the whole atmosphere in this city is a bit more relaxed than in its big brother Tokyo.
On the country site you will the peace of century-old shrines and calming japanese gardens.
