It is cheaper to order online at klook, but the system can only buy 1 ticket at a time. It is more troublesome to find it at Nagoya Station using the QR CODE export.

It is really worth recommending, especially the crab pot. The porridge was cooked perfectly at the end. The waiter was very polite. The brown rice tea recommended at the end was also delicious.

I love that this is not crowded compared to other observatory I have visited in the past. It is a nice view from 42nd to 44th floor. I love that there is a chill spot for people in the 42nd floor just sitting and chilling, admiring the view from above.

JR Tokai's JR regional pass has always been troublesome. It has to be sent to my home. It is very convenient and quick to pick up the ticket at Hong Kong Airport. I can also book it two days before departure. I set out from Nagoya and went to Kumano City, Nachiyama, Kumano Hongu Taisha Shrine, Kushimoto, Shirahama, and Ise City. When I returned to Nagoya, the fare was already double the JR pass.
