Introducing Travel'smart | Travel'smart Enjoy "free time (individual travel)" and "1-day tour" at the same time

It is very popular with tourists and there was a long line before the store opened. The food was served quickly because we were waiting outside. When ordering, we asked, "Can I have a small amount of rice?"
I was happy that they asked me, "You can have it all on one side, but what would you like?" I think women can enjoy it even if it's a small portion! The ingredients were fresh and there were many different types.

There was a fish market just around the corner from Kosei Shokudo, so we stopped by. According to the taxi driver, it was smaller than Omicho Market, but you could buy fresh fish at a reasonable price. There were some rare fish at surprisingly low prices, so I wanted to buy some to take home.

I visited the factory of Hokuriku Seika, the manufacturer of Shiraebi Beaver, but the factory was closed today due to a sudden temporary closure, so I was unable to tour the factory. I would like to try again the next time I travel to Kanazawa.

This facility offers a variety of experiences, such as making manju and handmade stamps, but we tried gold leaf pasting. Individuals and small groups can participate on the day without making a reservation. You can choose your favorite items, such as hand mirrors and individual plates, and seasonal designs. How about making your own souvenir from Kanazawa?

A monaka with a shelf life of just 6 minutes?! This one was also recommended by a taxi driver. The outside of the monaka is crispy and the sound of it crackling when you bite into it is indescribable. I chose the salted bean paste with mascarpone and orange peel. The orange peel refreshingly neutralizes the richness of the mascarpone cheese, making it not too heavy.

As I didn't make a reservation, I filled out my name on the reception desk an hour before opening, and was able to enter the restaurant as soon as it opened, as I was able to fill out the form relatively early. I ordered the "Nodoguro rice" which is what I was looking for today, as stated in the restaurant's name. It was fatty and tender, and the waiter showed me three ways to eat it: as is, with condiments, or with Nodoguro broth poured over it, like ochazuke. All were delicious!

Nagoya is famous for its morning meals, so we asked our taxi driver to recommend a morning restaurant to a local.
The shop is popular with locals and has an old-fashioned feel to it, but it's lively and the strong roasted coffee is delicious.

Looking for souvenirs at Nagoya Station. I searched for souvenirs at the kiosks and JR Nagoya Takashimaya.
Then, I purchased a "one-day pass" which makes it easy to get on and off the trains during my trip.

I enjoyed the exhibition at the elegant Matsuzakaya Museum of Art. It enriched my mind.

The eel at Atsuta Horaiken is grilled rather than steamed. The outside is crispy and delicious. I tried the unadon with condiments and ochazuke, but the best was the unadon. If you want to eat hitsumabushi, this restaurant is recommended!

We enjoyed shopping at the basement of a department store. After shopping, we went back to the hotel to take a rest.

For dinner, we enjoyed Nagoya specialty Cochin cuisine at Kururu, a restaurant located a 5-minute walk from Nagoya Station. We enjoyed ingenious Cochin cuisine at the restaurant. After Meals, we took a leisurely stroll back to the hotel.
