Dref, Malou, Jing and I went to Nagoya, while Aris, Joy and Roms went to Hiroshima (Roms will be making a separate post on this).
We have secured our seat reservations in the airport for Nagoya, but not for Aris and Joy to Hiroshima, so we dropped by the JR Office get use reserve the seats. Then we headed straight to the Shinkansen tracks. When using JR Pass, always go to the barrier office and show your JR Pass. On your first time use, the station officer will put a stamp on it.
The tracks in the Shin-Osaka Station are easy enough to follow. There are English signs as to where the train in the track is going to.
We bought ekiben
prior to going to the tracks. The price ranges from 800 yen to 1,200 yen. They have katsu and beef and sushi rolls and onigiri. They also have sandwiches. But if the time is too tight and there's no time to buy, fret not, they also sell on board the train but with limited choices and the price is actually cheaper than outside.
For Nagoya, our itinerary is to visit the Toyota Museum and Nabana no Sato. In Nagoya Station, take the exit via the Takashimaya, the bus stop 8 for Meguru Sightseeing Bus is just outside on the left (when going out). This bus' first stop is the Toyota Museum. For more info and what else you can visit, go here. The One Day Pass is 500 yen, one bus ride is 240 yen. We didn't take the day pass as we will only take it twice, but if you plan to go to other places that the sightseeing bus is serving, then it is wise to get the day pass.
After Toyota, we headed back to the Nagoya Station. Note that the bus will not stop on the same bus stop 8, it will stop across the street. So just walk over, go inside Takashimaya and take the Hirokoji Exit, then after crossing the street, turn right. You will see the signs to go to Meitetsu Bus Center. Go up level 3 for the tickets, advisable to buy a round trip ticket. The travel takes about 25 to 30 minutes.
The admission fee was 2,200 yen, but the admission ticket includes a 1,000 yen voucher which can be used in the restaurants inside. It was really cold that day because of the wind, but the experience is worth it. Amazing illumination. It is so worth the visit and the cold. ^_^
When going back, make sure that you take the same bus. Check if the bus is going to Nagoya Station and the bus must be a Meitetsu Bus. It could become very crowded and you might not be able to get on the bus, good thing there's a warm waiting area.
