The later it gets, the livelier it becomes—more vibrant than I expected. Although it was crowded, everything felt pretty orderly and not chaotic. Restaurants, izakayas, and bars stay open late into the night, so it’s super convenient if you want a late-night bite or a drink. You definitely don’t have to worry about finding a place. It had more energy than I imagined.

I didn’t expect to find such an amazing free night view in downtown Nagoya. The view from the 7th-floor observation deck is fantastic, and the city lights at night have a really classy feel. Looking out over all of downtown Nagoya from above feels completely different from the daytime.

Both kinds of cookies are pretty good. Most people usually go for the bamboo shoot-shaped one first since the shape is cute and fun, and it’s definitely more popular.

This Apple Store isn’t just about selling products. It feels more like a tech landmark in Shinjuku.
A lot of people go in even if they’re not planning to buy anything, just to enjoy the AC and check out the newly released products.
