A nice, quiet place to stay if you're visiting Nagoya. It's close to many restaurants and the main shopping strip (there's maid cafe's, amazing croissant/bakeries, etc). Also close to a Komehyo for those looking for some vintage/designer shopping.

Again, an experience, but… food. I find cooking always fun and getting to eat fresh food while doing so is the best.
