Experience of the stay
We stayed with two adults and two preschoolers aged two and five. They kindly agreed to connect two beds against the wall and provided a bed guard, allowing us to stay comfortably. The kids enjoyed the specially provided amenities, trying on the slippers repeatedly and sharing handkerchiefs, giving them a unique "special" experience. The location is excellent as you can access restaurants and shopping stations within walking distance. We drove there and intended to use the hotel parking, but it was full upon arrival. They advised us of a nearby affiliated parking lot, which we used at the same price (from 25th-10-4-5, it was ¥1,200).
In October, the lobby was adorably decorated for Halloween, and while enjoying free ice cream, the kids were captivated by the decorations.
The next morning, we headed to the large public bath. It was clean and felt great. After bathing, we excitedly went to breakfast! Although the lineup wasn't spectacular, we enjoyed items like shrimp fry, tonkatsu, kishimen, miso stew with offal, and anko butter toast, providing a good mix of Japanese and western fare, along with plenty of Nagoya flavors. Considering that preschoolers stayed for free, it was an all-around satisfying breakfast.
Experiences during the trip
On the first day, we headed to Nagashima Toy Kingdom. Perhaps due to the not-so-great weather forecast, the park was not crowded, making it very enjoyable. It was my first time seeing dolphins and their shows up close, along with penguins and sea turtles! Since there were not many visitors, my daughter got to monopolize the dolphin show she loves so much! She enjoyed the show up close and personal for as long as she wanted. We could also play with toys without any crowd, which was very satisfying! At night, we had chicken wings at a nearby restaurant and returned to the hotel early with our tired children.
On the second day, we continued with the dolphin theme and visited the Nagoya Port Aquarium. The school of sardines we wanted to see was decorated for Halloween, and it was a lot of fun. The only downside was that we couldn't see the orca show, which my younger child loves, as it was canceled. It's just a little over two hours from Osaka, so we plan to go back for a redo.
