I’m not entirely sure why I’m posting these photos separate from the photos taken on the walk to Nagoya TV Tower and then the photos taken at Nagoya TV Tower. Nevertheless, I do have a separate folder for these, so if you have to know, these were all taken on the long walk from Nagoya TV Tower to the Meitetsu Bus Center.
Starting from Hisaya Odori Park, Ryan and I made our way back towards the Nagoya Station area (taking a different route of course), with our goal being the Meitetsu Department Store (and Bus Center), where we would be catching a bus to Ina.
Along the way we crossed a river, saw some pretty cool buildings, and took our time walking past a Maserati dealership, kind of the last expected thing we thought we would see in Nagoya.
With time to spare, we reached the Meitetsu Building, did a spot of shop browsing (so, so many levels of high-end stores, and boy, are CDs and DVDs expensive over there!), and then took a couple of photos under the famous Nana-chan, a massive white mannequin that gets a new look every month and acts as a popular meeting spot for people in Nagoya.
Yup, and then it was time to try and figure out how to find our bus (which is tricky given the massive size of the building), all while Ryan anxiously waited on his phone call from Hamish and Andy (which apparently are a reasonably well known podcast pair?).
If you have to know, his phone call went well. (And we found our bus.)
