The main reason I visited Nagoya was to visit the house of Satsuki and Mei in the Aichi Expo memorial park. The park was far away from all other attractions around the area so I kept the place to the last day of my visit. I had some spare time after visited the park so I went to visit Nagoya castle before heading for the airport.
