We decided
We decided to travel from Nagoya to spend the day at Lagunasia. Lagunasia is an amusement park In Gamagori, Aichi prefecture, Japan, that features thrilling rides and entertainment shows that are great for kids and adults. In Dec month the 1st show was the La Luz which are domed-shape nested in the big pool Jioia Mare. Well illuminated, complemented by the beautiful underwater illumination which made a good combination. It is worth a visit it. #givethanks #travelinspiration #couplestrip #deliciousfood #newyearstrip #scenicspotguide

The sea in Gamagori near Nagoya
Want to avoid the crowds and see the sea near Nagoya?
I recommend taking a walk in Gamagori City~
From Nagoya Kanayama Station, it takes about half an hour to reach Gamagori by JR. This is the closest place to Nagoya where you can see the sea.
There are many hot spring resorts at the next station, Mikawa Miya Station, where you can visit the seaside and enjoy the hot springs.

A hotel to stay at in Aichi [Laguna Bay Court⚓️]
Laguna Bay Court Club Hotel & Spa Resort is a seaside urban resort about an hour from Nagoya city, where you can enjoy an extraordinary experience in a resort atmosphere. This time, I brought my dog and enjoyed a parent-child trip with my mother 🐕🦺
There are 9 pet-friendly rooms, and up to 2 small dogs weighing less than 10kg can be brought along.
We asked for afternoon tea in the room so that we could enjoy it with our pets in the room 🫖
We also had breakfast in the room because we wanted to spend time with our pets.
The luxurious Japanese breakfast had a wide variety of items and it was almost impossible to fit it all on the table! !
We were completely captivated by the Laguna Bay Court Club, where you can spend such a wonderful time even with your dog. Why not visit Laguna Bay Court Club Hotel & Spa Resort for a trip with your precious dog?

The luxurious Chinese restaurant 'Choyurou' at the urban resort hotel in Aichi
For dinner at Laguna Baycourt, head to the Chinese restaurant 'Choyurou'. Among the meals I have at the hotel, Chinese cuisine is my favorite, so I was really looking forward to dinner.
We were guided to a wonderful private room with a view of the water basin.
The specialty teppanyaki shark fin is served by pouring the sauce right in front of you on a hot iron plate. Adding red vinegar changes the flavor, allowing you to enjoy it twice. It was so delicious that I wanted to have another plate.
The Peking duck, which makes a crispy sound with every bite, is also exquisite. The skin is stamped with the Baycourt logo✨
To complement the dishes, we were recommended an original Shaoxing wine. It was very easy to drink even straight and was truly delicious.

Suehiro Tankokai Yu Inn: Great Value with Shuttle Service
I visited the Suehiro Tankokai Yu Inn in Nishiura, Aichi Prefecture, which has a three-star rating. Despite not having high ratings on Google, I think it offers great value for money. The dinner included fish and abalone, but we also ordered Wagyu beef, lobster sashimi, and shrimp sashimi, all of which were delicious and reasonably priced. The rooftop bath has been renovated and is quite nice. It's not accessible by JR; you have to take the Meitetsu line, which is a bit slow. The inn provides a shuttle service to and from the station.

Travel to Japan, play in the sea🌊Gamagori (Gamagori)
Gamagori is a city in Aichi Prefecture. It takes about an hour from Nagoya. It has a beautiful landscape. One side of the city is connected to the sea, so the city has a beautiful sea view for us to visit and walk around.
From the post, it is the Gamagori Sea, 蒲郡市, which has 2 places as follows:
1. Nishiura Palm Beach 西浦パームビーチ
https://maps.app.goo.gl/oD9vwJk2UEn34L457?g_st=ic
It is a sandy beach with clear water that you can swim in. The view is very beautiful. There is seafood for sale on the sandy beach. Japanese people and even foreigners will open umbrellas for picnics by the sea, build sand castles, etc.
2. Takeshimacho
https://maps.app.goo.gl/M5Hb69N3qx7y6vJf8?g_st=ic
It is a sea with a sandy beach and lots of rocks. When the water recedes, we can walk and collect shells. It is an island in the middle of the sea with a long bridge to walk to the island. In the middle of the island, there is a shrine, bamboo forest and shady trees. Most tourists come to have a picnic, soak their feet in the water and worship the shrine. (💢 It is not popular to swim with your whole body because it is an island in the middle of the sea, causing strong waves that can be dangerous.)

It is famous for its sandy beaches surrounded by two large peninsulas: the Azumi Peninsula and the Chita Peninsula, which have been designated as Mikawa Bay National Park.
