For our first official Japanese Society Class we went on a little walk to Atsuta Shrine. (Atsuta is also the name of the part of Nagoya that the school is in.) It was about a 20 minute walk, in the rain. Our professor pointed out some spots along the way like a fresh rice shop, a coffee specialty shop his friend owns, and the Shiratori Gardens (previously mentioned).
I have some pictures of the professor (you'll never believe he's 67), the walk, and the shrine. it was raining so lighting was a bit difficult and we didn't stay long, so we need to go back sometime when it's nice out.
