Very easy to get to the aquarium, just a 5 mins walk from the nearest train station. It was huge and will be good to spend around 2-3 hours there. Pretty crowded on weekends.

Nagoya Castle is very beautiful. Although the Tenshu Gate is temporarily closed, the exhibitions elsewhere are already worth the price of admission. The QR code of the certificate is also very convenient to use.

If you buy this plan, you can only take ordinary buses. After redeeming, you can swipe the QR CODE to enter the station. If you bring a lot of luggage, it is recommended to go to the counter and spend money to buy a reserved seat, which is less tiring.

It's a pretty good itinerary. Although it's a quick trip, the experience is still very good. I have to do some homework, including which attractions to visit or what souvenirs and snacks to buy. I missed the time of a large number of other tour groups at the right time, so the experience is good. It’s not bad, you have to queue up if you should queue up, but it doesn’t take too long to complete.

After the ticket purchase is approved, a QRcode link will be provided. It is very convenient to swipe in directly with the QRcode without exchanging the ticket, and the price is cheaper than purchasing tickets on site!
