Nagoya, Japan Travel/Self-driving Car Rental/Parent-Child Attractions/Itinerary Travel Notes/Sharing

After the wealthy family was diagnosed one after another, they decided to travel abroad. The original plan for this trip to Nagoya was to go north, from Nagoya → Fukui → Kanazawa → Gassho Village → Gero Hot Spring → Nagoya Self-driving Circle circle, but because the Fukui Prefectural Dinosaur Museum has been renovated in December 2022, it will not open until the summer of 2023 (https://www.dinosaur.pref.fukui.jp/en/info.html, currently open), and then I also considered that it might snow in the mountainous areas of Kanazawa and Gassho Village, and self-driving may have safety concerns, so the final itinerary was changed to go southwest toward Yunoyama Hot Spring, Suzuka, and Ise , the schedule is not rushed, and rich people don’t like to drive long distances, so they try to control the self-driving time within two hours every day. In the end, the whole family returned home safely without being diagnosed. Let’s take a look at the parent-child attractions and share the itinerary!

Itinerary for children: Suzuka Circuit Motopia, Nagoya Legoland, Toyota Industrial Technology Memorial Hall, Boeing Museum (Flight of Dreams)

rich man experience

Entry into Japan

The rich man felt that the customs clearance at Nagoya Centrair International Airport was fast this time, and it only took about 30 minutes to complete. However, the rich man felt that the procedure was a bit confusing, but there is no need to worry about the staff at the airport who can speak Chinese. Three days before leaving the country, the rich man registered for Visit Japan Web (VJW) online, filled in the information for his family, and then took a screenshot of the QR Code of Visit Japan Web. However, when he arrived at the airport, the staff asked him to see the online version of the QR Code. So the rich man was really in a hurry to switch accounts there. Fortunately, Chunghwa Telecom's roaming network was relatively stable and he passed the test smoothly.

You need a Japanese Internet connection to display VJW directly online

Japan Insurance

Due to the epidemic, the rich man is worried that a family member will be diagnosed in Japan. The cost of medical treatment in Japan is not cheap, so there is a recommended travel insurance through Visit Japan Web. You can refer to this article for the insurance steps.Japan Travel Insurance Overseas Insurance Sharingarticles.

attractions

I went to several amusement parks this time. I tried to avoid Friday, Saturday, Sunday and consecutive holidays when entering the park, so there were almost no queues when playing. Every facility was available. The little rich man had a lot of fun. I feel like I’m having more fun than usualLeofoo VillageThere are more (laughs).

The rich man observed that when visiting scenic spots, he almost encountered no foreign tourists. He felt that there were still not many tourists entering Nagoya. You can consider it less crowded.

All stores in Tokaido Kanjuku are closed on Mondays. For some attractions, you can check in advance through the official FB, IG, and . The rich man feels that Japanese stores are very careful in managing social networks. Most of the stores have responded to the rich man’s messages. It’s great.

Nagoya Castle's large and small castle towers have been closed for maintenance for four years and are expected to reopen at the end of 2022. This time I can only take pictures at the Honmaru Palace. I will have to wait until next time to mess with the castle tower. I'm sorry.

Update: The castle tower is still under maintenance and cannot be visited.!

Restaurant

During this 10-day trip, I stayed in 5 hotels. The hotels in the first three days of the trip may be in areas with relatively few foreign tourists. In addition, the epidemic situation has not yet recovered, so it is still a bit difficult for hotel staff to communicate in English, but the hotels in downtown Nagoya English communication is no problem at all.

Transportation in Nagoya

Since this trip was in the direction of Ise Jingu Shrine, I chose to rent a car and drive myself. The car rental at Nagoya Chubu International Airport was booked through the Tabirai website. For detailed operations, please refer toNagoya Tabirai car rental experience sharing, you can add "Rent a Car, Rent a Car", rent a car - Nagoya Chubu International Airport Toyato Rental a Car, the airport staff can communicate in English, and return the car - Toyato Rental a Car in front of Nagoya Station, it is no problem to communicate using Google Translate.

The rich man tried using other car booking websites when booking a car, but it was weird that he couldn't find a car to rent when he chose "rent a car and return it back", so he finally chose Tabirai. This time I rented a Toyota Sienta. There are four large and one small (plus booster pads) for three large luggages. The space is spacious and no problem.

This time, I sent my family to the airport to return home on December 17. I stayed alone in Nagoya for two more days (12/18-12/19), so I took the airport subway twice. If I went to the airport on the weekend, I still met a lot of Japanese people. If you are going to the airport, if you have elders or children, please pay extra to purchase a designated seat so that you can have a seat. On weekdays (12/19)Nagoya StationThe rich man had a seat when going to the airport. The picture below was taken when he went to Chubu Airport at 9:30 a.m. on December 19. There were not many people in the carriage. The rich man also managed to find a seat to sit. He took a rest and prepared to do what he did at the airport. The final push (laughs).

In fact, there are also some in Nagoya cityfree internet, you can even use it when taking a sightseeing bus. This time, there is a free trial of WAmazing. It is good for basic daily use. You can refer to how to get it for free.Nagoya Network, JapanThis article.

Shopping

Many merchants in Taiwan sell prices in Japanese yen as Taiwan dollars. After a hard trip to Japan, you must buy some health food and cosmetics when you go back. You can refer to some discount coupons for cosmetics and electrical appliances that you found during this trip.Japan cosmeceuticals, electrical appliances and grocery discountsThis article.

The rich man also saw many Indian staff when he was in the supermarket. If he encountered any problems in the supermarket, he could ask them in English. Perhaps because of the epidemic, supermarkets are also equipped with self-service shopping machines and automatic money change machines to reduce contact. Rich people find it very convenient and can slowly take out change without pressure (laughs).

This time I successfully purchased it at a drug store and needed to consult a pharmacist.Class I pharmaceuticalsOh, you can refer to it for detailsSharing on purchasing Japan’s first-class pharmaceutical productsarticles.

small tools

Because of the COVID-19 epidemic, I prepared translation software this time to reduce conversations. After some research, I found that the Google Translate APP is really easy to use and greatly speeds up communication with Japanese locals.
