Vlog: Is Nagoya the Most Underrated Winter Destination? You Won’t Believe What We Found!
hi wonderously is Jason behind the camera is Jeff and kich chiwa welcome to Nagoya let’s enjoy the trip [Music] together my M your name this is what I’m looking for yesterday I even finished up so endless Wonder yay [Music] hello everyone welcome back to endless F I’m Jeff and I’m Jason and this is our first time to Japan and kich chiwa welcome to Nagoya right now we are in the our Express train and we bought the express Ticket so when you are in the counter uh buying your Express train ticket remember to click on the first class so actually first class you need to pay additional for this bigger ticket for the express train if not you need to take the mini pink color toy yes so the basic ticket is actually 980 Yen and it takes you to the mini train which is the local train and it stops at all station yeah so definitely we are at a very very fast train as you can see from the outside so yeah let’s see and enjoy Nya together yay let’s go [Music] [Music] this is our cream cheese Lo is very good try but also very small this is the banana flavor this the Kiwi is super good it’s actually the cream cheese that brings out the taste and also the fruit Jam very original not doesn’t taste like the artificial banana at all it’s not and you know like the coffee house Vibes is actually very good very quiet and I have to spit very soft my voice doesn’t interrupt with others okay so we just finished the coffee house CLE uh overall I believe um it’s quite worth it if you really first time come here because I actually I love the vibe although the comment people say not worth the quill but because actually when we came is only C for 15 to 20 minutes so I find it’s worth it the toast is amazing and you know the sauce they are homemade although um it’s a bit awkward because I think due to respect is people don’t like you know take photo of them but so we just you know it’s a bit squeezy as well all right so we are here at the asuta chingu shine and this is actually our first stop of our our trip in Nagoya so let’s go inside and take a look because it’s a lot of people here so um follow me and go [Music] [Music] so right now we are at the sh as you can see behind is those uh japanesee uh uh bucket of wine so as you can see it’s more on the wine where they put at the stri so it’s very very dusty here because I believe the stone and people you know start to slide on the uh the floor therefore you know the dust have been flowing everywhere but nevertheless it’s really crowded today and this is the first time we came to a shrine and is really cool um we went just how the water is super cool also right now my hand is super num so let’s go around and take a look at this beautiful shrine so actually we came here and we are able to uh get the pray for one of the uh praying stick and you get uh you know your luck for what you actually pray for uh I got number four and my is lucky and I got number Tre and my is half lck as in p my yay it’s in Japanese so yeah just take a photo and use the Google Translation app to translate then you can roughly know what it says all right so my drawer is not really good so I have to uh tie it up to send it to the dentist dentist dentist no matter good or bad like you have to uh tie it to the tree or a wire rack to increase its effect so if you got a good fortune then just tie it on the rack to increase the fortune the effects and if it’s a bad luck and you also need to tie tie on a rack to put the bed luck in the hands of the stri D so let’s do it all right let’s tie it and hope I will get a better [Music] luck all right so I fortunately we are here at the unagi restaurant but uh we didn’t make any reservations the receptions actually told us that the booking is full and if you want to wait we have to wait for 2 hours and 30 minutes so we are giving it up and go to other [Music] restaurant we are at this uh unagi place that actually we randomly found and it’s actually really amazing here you know the person actually cook right in front of us with the charcoal the smell of the unaki is just you know fill up the entire restaurant itself so it looks really local you know all the restaurant I think we are the only um tourist here so let’s try is it you know worth the H and it’s quite cheap I get the f unaki milal is only cost uh 28 uh 2800 Yen and Jeff is a three quarter which is around 2,370 Yen so let’s stick in and enjoy oh my God I’m not exaggerated it’s very nice but you will melt in the mall and very soft and very sweet as [Music] well you got all right so I have one kinako which is a sweet Twan sweet Mochi so let’s try one for 100 and oh why what love M it’s very nice it’s very nice you will love it it’s very different from uh Dong Donkey the the kind of Mochi the skin is crispy but inside is very soft and very sticky with the peanut powder it tastes so good it’s just Mochi oh my God it’s good I love it I love it so much [Music] hello everyone so we are here at nag yajo yes it cost 500 yen to actually to come in and the first thing you talk about you know nagya is definitely this nagya Castle because it’s really significant you know landmark of this place so let’s go and take a look yeah and it’s very accessible you can just take a metro and the station is just right in front of the [Music] castle so right in front of us is the Naga Castle you see it’s so magnificent so huge and look at the blue sky as well it really Blends into this such a beautiful place and a lot of is catching their nice photo here right now as well so yeah we should supposed to take our nice toilet here as let’s go [Music] endless Wonder [Music] yay hi wonderers okay we finally check in at 5:00 p.m. and this is our Nagoya hotel at soetsu is extremely cheap and you know the location is also superb so let’s have a room tour and you know let’s have a first person view together us so when you come is a relatively small you know unfortunately a Japanese hotel are all the same but with this size I think with the price I have no bargain so uh they actually comes with a free pajamas where you can just uh collect yourself at the leaf uh beside the leaf and there’s a lot of amenities Jeff is gone crazy over the med level one they give like facials toner serum sunscreen have buff bomb everything is just you know went crazy or like free shopping over there so yeah with the size you able to put two luggage but unable to open both um we somehow have a slight view on the road and we have a table fridge you know typical you know nice view as well as a two pillow and a bit here you also I believe this should be a air purifier so so maybe at night we can try to turn it on oh wow the toilet is bigger than I expected because I thought Japanese toilet will be very squeezy but see yeah all Japanese Hotel comes with a buff top so if you’re a buff person while you’re in heaven so they also provide some bath uh soap uh powder for you to actually to use for bath as as a toilet smart toilet as usual I don’t to touch the toilet seat again because definitely this is a he that seat and we have this uh Toilet Man it toilet paper but when you sh you take toilet paper and you take like that it’s right in front of you so yeah very nice very bright not scary at all yeah so nevertheless I think this is a super good hotel uh we will put a link at the description for you actually actually take a look but yeah let’s enjoy our Nagoya to days tomorrow will be a very early day so stay tuned for more let’s go shopping after this [Music] oh my God look at this it’s only like 6 700 p.m. is already it’s only 6:30 it’s already fly [Music] up all right so after order from the kiosk machine and we fill up the phone form to uh customize our flavors and the spicy levels let’s [Music] go all right guys so overall is definitely a 10 out of 10 don’t listen to people say this is over hard they have their own uniqueness about this ichiran Ramen so definitely if you have chance you know if the queue is not extremely long just try it it’s really really work oh my God we was it you know I even finish up the soap yeah Jason finished the entire Bowl even the soup like sh he he just take the bowl and drink it directly it’s that amazing so hopefully you know when we are in Japan this one week we can eat again okay acceptable because it’s really nice yeah so let’s go back and rest because tomorrow will be a long long day for us yeah so see you tomorrow bye hello good morning everyone so today is my duty to go out in the morning to buy breakfast for Jason and myself before we go to the bus station to uh travel to takayama as well as Shirak kawaku so let’s see what can we buy my God this is what I’m looking for yesterday okay I’m going to get one one for uh 430 including TX and what should I get for Jason two might be good think or maybe this one okay I think I get this ham EGS because the EG yolks looks good maybe get some other snacks as well tuna Mayon this one looks good but this also looks good A few moments later okay spotted something Macha soy milk so I’m getting this getting something special is better than going for basic today right so I got instructed to make payment first before I press the coffee morning wonderers okay I am fully prepared and Jeff just actually went down to the convenience store and buy some sandwiches so not sure that he have introd so he bought a strawberry cream sandwich I believe this supposed to be dessert instead of breakfast I’m not sure and also get this Trio sandwich I already accidentally e eaten one and this is the rice ball with tuna mayonnaise this look amazing as well and Jeff bought a cute little matcha and mine is a hot coffee so yeah so let’s uh prepare ourself and head out to this place called takayama and shiraku yes so so excited about it so right now 7:00 a.m. we’ll be leaving around 7:30 to catch the bus so see you in the bus later [Music] go all right so we are free to go at takayama and it’s extremely cold and crowded here so let’s go around and take AO you know what happened this morning we recorded so much right so much footage in the morning to buy breakfast to eat breakfast and in the end it’s slowmo yeah I recorded everything is slowmo what the hell so let’s go to Morning Market get a crowd [Music] [Music] okay so we bought this cookie Mac at coffee it’s really cute they make a kitty photo on top of the macchiato and let’s try it so the cookie is edible as well M wow it tastes cute so it cost 900 Yen and the person uh the the boss say uh your cookie don’t fit the Pion here they are not our customer the coffee got white chocolate taste because I think they C with white chocolate if you drink espresso right they say you just drink half anding back then they put with cream on top oh you drink finish eat a cook is a bit overpriced right Dory spot you go singap so this price M actually the cookies is very nice it’s very sweet also sweet and crunch white chocolate cookie very nice I like actually I prefer the cookies you can finish the coffee you ready finish [Music] we just bought the wagu B every time we walk past here I keep seeing this smoke and then it attract me to buy the B let’s open up W amazing looks good it tastes just a normal BUN but with a lot of beef [Music] inside so we are ordering the premium hiab be Sushi and it cost 1,000 yen uh this is one of the uh popular one in here so let’s try is it good because he also saw a lot of other store as as the toy actually also introduced us U another store so just wanted to follow the our gut feeling and go with the one with torist love most so let’s CH $5 each piece yes [Music] CH so good I the sauce a sauce it not my mouth oh it’s finger looking good yeah do me very Stu really premium if you come to T definitely you have to try this F new i r taste good got the fragrance in it you know when we walking on the streets right there I keep seeing like people uh eating this and it looks very good you see the caramel covered on the uh Mochi they call it dongu so let’s try oh it’s hot H actually it’s not it’s not Moi disappointed rice yeah it taste exactly the one that I had in chonging the rice inside and covered with the different different thing because the the one in ch is covered by the bean paste and then but this one is covered by the brown sugar so um I don’t really like [Music] it currently we at the Sha kago and right now we just arrived as you can see there’s a lot of people there’s only one way in and one way out which is the hanging Bridge which looks quite scary and around us actually there’s a lot of snow you know you know the snow actually is taller than us right now so I think overnight have been heavy heavily snow over here as well so let’s cross the scary bridge and we will be in the small little town is UNESCO world [Music] heritage everything is covered by snow and so white I’m currently at the middle of the Bridge the bridge is actually quite shaky like everyone stepping on it and it will shake a little bit all right guys so we are currently at shago and you just cross a bridge as you can see like there are a lot of Tes here but uh the place actually is all covered by snow and it make it more beautiful and attractive so let’s explore and see what kind of shops they have let’s go [Music] hi Ling still very shiny okay soft one two [Music] [Laughter] I [Laughter] [Music] so it’s so cool there’s a snowman as a snow house and people are taking photo there really a snow house you can go inside is that snowall um then this will be a grief okay so Jason is going into the snow cave and this way is really amazing a lot of this uh sh house is everywhere and is have been kept since you know over more than hundreds over years and there’s a lot of tourist here as well you can get a lot of nice spot and the water is so clear yeah I think because it’s the snow melted that’s why it’s just uh those Ice Mountain Water so you want to drink by the crops and all their crops die yeah because it’s winter so dangerous at the road has a lot of ice and you know anytime anytime you can you know fall down asleep with our spot shoes that’s why my camera is always on standby just in case that Jason fall down and I have the records you already hit my head it’s in my record guys see what I have spotted they coish they coish in the drain they cold in the sh let’s continue to explore this place is fun this is their fire station so cute out of nowhere [Music] here we go to go up to the obser tower hiking hiking hiking yes we are almost there we’re almost there a few more steps this 700 M feels quite long we made it oh my God this 700 met of hiking is crazy yeah but the view is beautiful and it’s worth the hike yes so let’s take a look what we are at right now oh my God OMG oh my God [Music] are we done let’s go down and have some small snacks because I’m very I’m stared I’m stared transparent pudding [Music] no so behind me is water house and the entrance fee is actually 400 Yen Jason decided not to go in because we need to pay so you just take a look from the exterior [Music] weo milk and this is a s s it contains 0.7% alcohol and it cost the same 500 yen each so let’s try alcohol yeah got alcohol the cookies also very nice got a lot of milk taste it’s a heat milk cookies I think ins that go s look at this strawberry I bought from takayama morning market and they are all in a weird shape and they are all quite big so let’s try since we cannot find a lunch place to have a proper lunch hence we are just standing beside the streets to eat strawberry but we’ll have a heavy dinner later once we back to the city so let’s try whether it’s sweet or sour my alarm ring this is sweet you haven’t see anything not very sweet also not very sour you just just a normal strawberry going to SC we are going back I’m so tired we woke up around 6 6:00 and then like the entire day
