HELLO BADDIESSSSS! I have to say, this was my favorite trip of the year so far because it was girls only!!!
We went to Nagoya, Japan. We left the house at around 3:00 in the morning. Our flight was at 6:00 AM. And since everything went smoothly, we finished immigration fast and still had plenty of time to get some Starbucks.
Here we are “styling” each other’s hair when the airline announced that our flight was overbooked. They had to ask someone to give up their seats for $200.
After our four hour trip, we finally arrived at Chubu Centrair International Airport. We arrived around 11AM Nagoya time.
Official Day One
Before anything else, we got our wifi which my mom booked at Kkday. We then went to see the Flight of Dreams. We played and explored a bit. Before leaving the place, we got some snacks at Lawsons – our first konbini experience for this trip. =)
We rode the train to our hotel. Even though we got to our hotel station easily, we had a bit of trouble finding our exit. When we found it, we were dismayed to see LOTS OF STAIRS. 🙁 We had quite a few luggage. But girl powers we had so it was no biggie!
Our hotel was called Comfort Hotel Nagoya Fushimi. It was really nice and breakfast buffet was included in our stay. The breakfast spread was simple. There were not much choices but it was good. The downside was it had a smoking area beside it so sometimes it stinks because of that.
After checking in and resting a bit, we went straight to exploring the surrounding area. We ended up at Don Quijote! My favorite part that day was our dinner. I got tonkatsu with lots of cheese on the side. My friend Mia wasn’t hungry so she didn’t eat much. Too bad. It was sooooo gooooood!!!!
Day Two
We booked a tour via Klook. It was a one day tour to Hida Takayama and Shirakawa-go Gassho Village. We had to ride the bus for almost 5 hours to and from the places. We slept most of the time.
It was mostly greeneries and old stuff. It was okay since I also got to buy quite a few toys for myself. I also got my mom her birthday gift here.
Our moms tried the “unli” sake tasting in Takayama. Drinking again, yuck! LOL! :p
After Takayama, we headed to Shirakawa-go. It was nice but it was also sooooo hotttttt!
We had dinner at Yoshinoya. MY MOST RECOMMENDED AND BEST PLACE TO EAT IN in Nagoya LOL. I got the cheesy (yes cheese again) beef bowl and so did my friend Mia. After that, we went back to our hotel and slept early because we were all so tired. We woke up at 5 AM for that tour.
Day Three
We went to Tsutaya Bookstore first thing in the morning. I bought a pencil case and keychain since we couldn’t read Japanese books. Mia bought stickers. After that, we went to the Osu shopping center. We didn’t go to any museums anymore. We decided to make this trip officially a shopping trip. =D
Oh, we did pass by Odori Park to check out the Mirai Tower.
We didn’t know that there was a festival happening in Nagoya during our trip. It was just near our hotel. We were surprised to pass by it one night. There were dance performances and lots of stalls selling all kinds of stuff. You’ll see it in my mom’s vlog soon. I’ll post it here, too. But here we were tasting some street food in the festival.
That night, Mia and I did something fun like a DIY spa together. We relaxed in the bath tub wearing our swimsuits and had snacks. The ultimate GIRLS TRIP!!!!
Day Four
Today’s the last full day, guys ☹☹☹. Today we just went shopping (again) the whole day. We went shopping for make up. There were so many choices and cute shades for blushes. We had another diy spa day, too. Our moms left us while they continue shopping. We decided to play a prank on them when they got back. They totally fell for it. It was so funny! LOL!!!!
Last Day ☹☹
It was our last day. We left the hotel at around 7 AM to catch the bus ride to the airport. The bus stop going to the airport was just near our hotel. It was better than riding the train where we definitely have to use stairs.
I can’t believe we did another round of shopping at the airport LOL. I wanted to spend all my pocket money haha!
This trip was the best I have ever had. I would rewind this again if I could. For the meantime, さようなら、日本！Bye Japan! See you again soon!
