Experience of the stay
I chose 'Mitsui Inn Nagoya Fushimi' as my accommodation in Nagoya.
Just a few minutes' walk from Fushimi Station, it offers convenient access to Nagoya Station and the Sakae area. The hotel has a functional exterior typical of business hotels but is clean inside and has a calm atmosphere.
Check-in was smooth. The lobby had a coffee and amenity bar, where I could choose what I needed to bring to my room, which was a nice touch. I appreciated the thoughtful offerings, like toothbrushes, bath salts, and tea.
The guest room was simple yet efficient, with a Simmons bed. The compact unit bath was easy to use, and I was able to fill the tub and enjoy a good soak.
At night, I walked to Fushimi and Sakae’s dining areas for dinner. The atmosphere around the hotel was calm, with a convenience store nearby for peace of mind.
Facing a quiet street, I was able to sleep soundly at night.
Overall, the quality of the facilities and services was excellent for the price, making it an ideal hotel for 'cost-effective solo trips' or 'business trips.' If I have the chance to come to Nagoya again, I would consider it for my stay.
Experiences during the trip
🍽 Meeting Yaba Ton, the King of Nagoya Cuisine
If you come to Nagoya, you have to stop by the long-established restaurant 'Yaba Ton' for miso katsu. The pork cutlet, coated with a fragrant batter, was generously drizzled with Nagoya's unique sweet and rich red miso sauce, making for an impressive sight.
My first experience with miso katsu was even milder and easier to eat than I had imagined, with a flavor that has a certain addictive quality. The balance between the juiciness of the cutlet and the richness of the miso was exquisite, and I found myself nodding in agreement, thinking, 'This is definitely something that makes you want to keep eating rice...!'
Both the surrounding tourists and locals were happily savoring the dish, making it a moment where I could truly feel, 'I’ve come to Nagoya.'

☕ Enjoying Nagoya Morning at a Café
The next morning, I enjoyed the much-anticipated morning culture experience. When I ordered a drink, I received complimentary items such as toast, boiled eggs, sweet red bean paste, and salad—a unique Nagoya style of morning feast.
I leisurely enjoyed thick toast and hot coffee in a retro café. The combination of sweet red bean paste and butter was addictive, making me think, 'Having something sweet in the morning can be this satisfying.'
Even on days packed with sightseeing plans, I wanted to take my time with the morning meal—what a luxurious morning moment it was.
