Sakae and Yabacho in Nagoya run right into each other, so strolling from one to the other makes for nice sightseeing.

Sakae

The Mirai Tower is the landmark here.

Host club signs

I couldn’t be bothered to walk up close, so I shot them from a distance, but wow, there are a lot of them.

Near Brisk Stand

This place is called Taberu Terrace Sakae. There’s a famous curry shop in there, so the line was long.

Nagoya scenery

The nightlife district.

Nagoya scenery

It’s a big city.

Street scene

Lots of pretty buildings around here.

Qu’il fait bon

Turns out there is one in Nagoya too.

A park

Didn’t expect a park in a spot like this.

A building

Just took a picture of it.

Yabacho

Parks all over the place…

Yabaton

It greets you as soon as you get to Yabacho.

Wagyu Hitori Yakiniku Dynamite

This place looks pretty good. Yakiniku Like is probably the best-known spot for eating yakiniku solo, but here’s one in Nagoya too. I don’t get to go out for yakiniku much these days, so a place like this would be nice.

The menu

Looks like they have Korean and Chinese menus too. I especially liked that they have horumon (offal) on the menu.

Yabaton’s pig

There’s a photo spot. Business must be booming if they could put up a whole building. Jealous.

Yaba Misen

This is the main Misen shop, and the line was huge.

The line

You’d have to set aside a whole day for it or you’ll never get in.

Shin

Apparently it’s a fried rice specialist. There are plenty of good places, but I couldn’t get to all of them that day…

A good-looking spot

It just had a nice vibe, so I took a picture.

Taiwanese castella and Taiwanese karaage

There were a lot of Taiwanese shops around.

Akamon

It just looked kind of interesting, so I took a picture.
