Our hotel doesn't have a restaurant ....we were given vouchers for breakfast at Mr Donut, a little cafe on the ground floor ...not the healthiest way to start the day ....but I DO LOVE DONUTS...
After breakfast, we set off on foot to explore Nagoya. Along the way, we came across this designated smoking area - but interestingly, we didn't see a single person smoking for the rest of the day.
The Horikawa River that flows through the heart of Nagoya.
Osu-kannon Temple
...inside the temple....
This statue is a depiction of Kannon, the Buddhist goddess of mercy and compassion, located at the Osu kannon Temple.
Another shrine .....with a purification fountain.
The Osu Shopping District in Nagoya ...such a wide variety of shops....
A skate park under the Nagoya Expressway.....
A sundial in front of the Nagoya City Science Museum....which sadly is closed on Monday.
