First Japan blog post! Not sure if I'll do these everyday, but it's fun.

That station entrance with all the cheesy sakura stuff was everything I hoped it would be.

Day three :) Written on the Shinkansen, because I'm a massive train nerd and the novelty will NEVER wear off!

Day four! Nagoya isn’t at all what I was expecting. For some reason I thought it’d be more like Tokyo, but it gives me way more Osaka vibes. Never been here before so it’s a massive novelty :’)🌳

Day five! (I published yesterday, but forgot to post here). Nagoya Castle. The keep is still closed to tourists, but the rebuilt palace was stunning.

Rubenerd: #Japan2025 Nagoya Castle and the Palace

Best day of the trip so far. The reconstructed Palace on the grounds of Nagoya Castle was jaw-dropping.

(Catching up!) Day six, seeing the SCMaglev train museum! This was a childhood dream come true :’)

Rubenerd: #Japan2025 SCMaglev and Railway Park!

This may be one of the best buildings in the world. So much of my childhood coming to life :').

And day seven, going to the Mirai Tower to see the Nagoya skyline in the morning, then off to Japanese suburbia to track down second-hand electronics stores!

The view was beautiful, and an EPSON 5.25 disk drive find in Japanese suburbia!

@rubenerd there's a noodle place in Nagoya called Oozo Moozo, I think, which I can recommend. Awesome noodle bowls. See if you can find it!
