Top Culture in Chubu

I suggest taking a walk through the gardens in the late afternoon. The sunset view is stunning, and it’s a nice break from the busy attractions.

My advice is to grab a combo ticket. It saved me some cash, and it gives you access to most of the fun stuff without shelling out more money later.

Bring cash! Not all shops and restaurants accept credit cards. I ran into a couple of places that didn’t, which was pretty inconvenient.

Try the local soba noodles at one of the small eateries. They are delicious, and pretty affordable too! It’s a must-have experience.

My advice is to wander off the main path a bit! Some of the best photo spots and quiet little shops are down those less crowded streets.

Bring cash. Some smaller shops and eateries don’t accept cards, so having yen on you will save you from missing out on some delicious local food.

If you’re up for it, try the hiking trails nearby. I thought they would be too tough, but they’re actually quite manageable and offer stunning views!
