Don't believe the naysayers. Nagoya is a thrill. We'll eat and drink like gluttons, hunt down hidden alleys and forgotten corners, and bravely venture where very few foreigners have gone before. Besides food and drink, Nagoya has awesome gardens, Toyota everything, Japan's oldest TV tower, the world's biggest train station and aquarium (separately), and Japan's #1 place to get your car exorcised. You know, from demons. Besides the city, we'll go on some daytrips -- we'll take a dip in the river at the foot of the Japanese Alps, ride a sideways elevator, climb ladders into Japan's oldest original castle, and check out some Frank Lloyd Wright. Follow me.
