Nagoya packed for two days and one night | Dolphin show twice + Ghibli warehouse check-in + super delicious local food!

Two days and one night in Nagoya, the schedule is really packed! Watch the dolphin show at the aquarium + crazy photos in Ghibli Park, and try all the local delicacies

Day 1
🐬 Arrive in Nagoya at 10am, the first stop is straight to "Nagoya Port Aquarium" (Address: 1-3 Minatocho, Minato-ku, Nagoya, Aichi Prefecture, opening hours: 9:30-17:30).
**Highlights recommended dolphin show**: The performance has a time, remember to occupy the seat 15 minutes in advance, the front row can be completely rest assured, will not be soaked by water ~ performance is different every time, good to see want to see a few more times. You can also see the tamer interacting with the dolphins up close, sooo cute!
Beluga whale feeding is very special, in the aquarium you can really play for 4-5 hours satisfying ~

🍚 Lunch is at the Tortoise restaurant in the aquarium (there are several restaurants with different themes), Nagoya miso pork ribs, small octopus tempura, tempura soba and specialty dishes are super delicious and good value for money! There are also dishes with chefs using mackerel meat, but I haven't tried them yet~

🌃 For dinner, we chose Murakami, a popular restaurant near the hotel (Address: Hotel 53-2 Fujimigaoka, Meito Ward, Nagoya, Aichi 465-0048 Japan).

Day 2
🍞 Breakfast at the hotel (Route Inn Hotel Route Inn Grand Nagoya Fujigaoka Ekimae 10 minutes to Ghibli Park), not many meals but Chinese and Western, good taste, enough energy to start the next day!

🏰 Ghibli Park (Address: 1533-1 Tsarima B, Nagakate, Aichi, opening hours: 10:00-17:00), I bought a premium ticket to enter, 10 o'clock to play until closed! The large warehouse is really super good for taking pictures, other movie scenes have separate exhibition areas, not allowed to take pictures but every detail I want to slowly see - every drawer, wardrobe can be opened, very interesting! Not only good looking, good to buy, but also good to shoot, photo lovers must go!

🍽️ Lunch is done at the park cafe, the sandwich is seasonal with mashed potatoes but the taste is slightly light can pass; red bean butter sandwich is very sweet and fragrant, cream cake is normal standard ~

🏨 Route Inn hotel front desk and restaurant are full of Ghibli elements, very cute, feels designed for pilgrimage ~ 😍 Convenient subway, great for playing Ghibli Park!

If you want to visit Nagoya landmarks + popular parks at once, this route is unbeatable! Leisure, photography, food is not much, super recommended to you who love Japan small travel ~ #Nagoya #GhibliPark #Japanese attractions #Nagoya itinerary
