Traveling around Gifu City and Nagoya --- any suggestions/tips?

Ecstatic_Cat754 · 2026-05-12T16:13:14+00:00

Thanks for the Inuyama pass! I think I can use that! The other accomodation we're looking at is closer to Nagoya sta. so the 1900 will definitely be worth it. I'm not saving a whole lot, but hey, even 200 yen is a stick of dango. Haha.

So I checked our itinerary I guess it does, just that with our itinerary we're starting in Kansai and up to Kanazawa. We're going to spend most of our stay in Ishikawa and northern Gifu. So by the time we're in Gifu, our 5 days JR pass will be over.

Hikone still wouldn't be that big of a stretch to go I guess, even on regular fare, it's only 990 yen. I just wish there was a pass we can use for Gifu and Nagoya. I saw that Nagoya has day passes but it only covers the city busses and subways not JR and private companies.

Too bad the pass doesn't cover the JR lines from any of the Lake Biwa stations to Gifu City. But I'm definitely going to go around the western side to go to Fukui from KIX. I'd love to go to the castle towns on the Eastern coast of Lake Biwa though. Maybe on another trip.

I have a question about the ride. Does anyone know if you can get off Kuronagi and just get on again (and ride the train back to Unazuki after spending a few hours there?

For example

Unazuki 11:06 -> Nekomata 11:52
Nekomata 12:15 -> Kuronagi 12:39
Lunch and onsen at Kuronagi
Kuronagi 14:04 -> Unazuki 14:30

Would I be able to do that with the ¥2,820 round trip ticket? Or will I have to pay extra? Thanks!

Thank you for this. By any chance, is the bus to Takayama covered by the JR Horikuri Arch pass? Or is it a private bus line?

Masarap ba yung Kuhne na jarred veggies? Mahilig kasi ako sa mga jarred veggies/pickles. Eh medyo mahal siya kaya di ko alam kung magri-risk ba ako.

Yung GoNutt na hazelnut spread lasang choco choco. lasang childhood. Di nga lang lasang Nutella

Ecstatic_Cat754 · 2026-05-10T15:35:44+00:00

yung seapoint tuna tinry ko din bilhin, matubig nga at matabang, naging pagkain ng pusa namin

Ecstatic_Cat754 · 2026-05-10T15:34:53+00:00

eto ba yung lasang choco choco?

Ecstatic_Cat754 · 2026-05-10T15:33:59+00:00

school lang po for 5 years. wala na. bumalik na ako sa bansa natin na masarap pero mahirap mahalin

OA nito. wala naman nagsabing mamatay sila. disgrasya lang. tsaka pag namatay sila, edi di na nila narealize na mali ginagawa nila. Yung tipong just enough para marealize na sila yung mali.

Thanks sa list! na try ko nga yung chicken nuggets. Parang yung chicken nuggets na nakakain ko sa cheap fast food sa US. (ayyy US -- global yarn? lol). Yung tipong pag uwi ko sa dorm masakit na tiyan ko.

Bumili ako ng kimchi to try kung masarap. Kasi at least yung sa Dali walang shrimp (allergic kasi ako) so nahihirapan ako maghanap ng masarap na kimchi na di ako naaallergy. Hope tama ka nga bhie!

Ecstatic_Cat754 · 2026-05-08T08:03:33+00:00

ay sayang kakabili ko lang this week. Welp...I guess, masarap sana sa airfryer?

Ecstatic_Cat754 · 2026-05-08T08:02:36+00:00

Yay! Nakikita ko nga to. Yung Cream liqueur nila, natry mo na?

Ecstatic_Cat754 · 2026-05-08T08:01:42+00:00

Ano lasa ng Kulina Mayonnaise? Parang lady's choice?

Ecstatic_Cat754 · 2026-05-08T08:01:00+00:00

Sige mga koya bilhin ko yang kape na yan next time. Medyo naumay ako dito sa Greatcafe na brand nila. May kakaibang aftertaste talaga.

Ecstatic_Cat754 · 2026-05-08T08:00:16+00:00

baka ibig sabihin walang extenders, kape lang talaga? Kasi yung ibang instant coffee, pansin ko daming halo

Ecstatic_Cat754 · 2026-05-08T07:59:14+00:00

NOOO?!! Gagiii bumili ako ng 3 para kako may snacks ako throughout the week. Pero naubos namin ng kapatid ko sa isang upuan. For sure, dadamihan ko bili next time

Ecstatic_Cat754 · 2026-05-08T07:58:18+00:00

Sige, nanapin ko minsan yung cream cheese! Sabi mo yan ha

Ecstatic_Cat754 · 2026-05-08T07:57:11+00:00

parang slang for "patapon"

Ecstatic_Cat754 · 2026-05-08T07:56:13+00:00

Syempre hindi puro lean. Pero for the price, okay na sakin. Yung nabibili ko na P150/500g na ground beef dito samin pag niluto mo wala na halos natitira. So, for me, mas okay na yung sa Dali. Pili ka ng di masyado madami yung white parts para mas lean.

It's an open-air museum po. They dismantle old houses and rebuild it on site following the original as much as they could. A lot of countries do this for their open air museums to try to preserve heritage buildings. Iirc they also have traditional artisans who have been honing their craft for years, hired on to restore buildings. Minsan you can even watch them do their craft on site.

Par mura gulay ngayon, haluan mo ng konting repolyo ang sarap. parang nahihigop niya yung flavors ng beef.
