    Quite interesting for me, would be better for kids
    We went there as part of a tour, it was interesting for me as I am an Engineer but not so much for my wife, it would be great for kids.

    Nice area to stay and shop
    We stayed in Sakae for 3 nights. There are 3 underground shopping streets that are connected by Sakae subway. Two major shopping malls are close by as well. Oasis21 is just 10 mins walk from our hotel. There are many restaurants in Sakae.

    Small museum with a modern hype design
    Located just next to the Science Museum, this is a rather small museum about arts. But it has a modern hype and trendy design.

    We were visiting the science museum, but it was closed (as it's Monday) and so we decided to come by for a visit but it was closed too! Most of the signages were in Japanese though. Admission fee was 700yen, considering very reasonable.

    We walked around the place and quite like it because it's layout is straightforward and ergonomical!

    Get up and close to "play" with electricity
    This is a rather small sized museum as compared to others and mainly meant for the children on the theme of electricity. The exhibits and displays about how electricity are created, generated and it's effects etc, are interesting and fun for the little ones but are mainly in the Japanese language though.

    The museum is located about 6mins walk from Fushimi station and is free admission. You can walk around in the building, enjoy the washroom and aircon before heading to your next destination, which we did, another couple minutes of walk to the science musuem!

    A nice and big park in the city!
    We were supposed to visit the science museum and art museum but both were closed (i.e. Monday) and so we decided to take a short walk in the park.

    The park is big and nice and during our walk, we saw many children, probably from the kintergarden nearby, visiting the park, running around with their teachers. There were also housewives and locals chit-chatting and reading their newspapers and books. Would say it's more for local to take a break from the hectic and busy life to enjoy some peace and tranquility.

    And there's public washrooms there, very clean and well-maintained.

    Unless you are visiting the museums and enroute to come here, it's not a popular place for foreign visitors to visit.

    A little shrine
    You don't think of this or at least I didn't, that these would be dotted amongst the community. It's a very quaint shrine to service the local community. Not something you'd travel to see but our air BnB was close so we went in. If you are close by pay a visit.

    Good for pass time and quick meal/bites
    We arrived in Sakae before hotel check in time and was hungry. So we went to this departmental store for a walk and try to find something to eat around the area. Was very pleased and amazed by the food at the supermarket. They looked attractive as usual like all Japanese supermarket food street/corner. We bought a beef bento and some deep fried chicken bites to eat in hotel room after checked in. Didn't take photos of those we bought, but took picture of a beautiful bento set.

    When you are looking for cafe...
    In Lachic, cafes are always crowded. In the 12th or 13th floor restaurants I can enjoy meal. After meal I look for a cafe, but every cafe has no empty seats. Then I go to the 4th floor, Beardsley. that is a female clothes ship. But there is a casual cafe. If you can't find a cafe, try it.

    Another typical underground shopping street!
    This is one of the several underground shopping streets located underground of Sakae Station, in Sakae, Naka Ward, in Nagoya.

    It consists of seven sections, North first Street, North second Street, Central first Street and South from first to fourth totaling four Streets. There are a great variety of stores, from restaurants, cafes, bakeries to grocery stores, fashion, lifestyle and book stores, general stores and pharmacies etc.

    On the day of our visit at around 4pm, it was a Monday and surprisingly, a great number of stores were closed and so it was not crowded unlike other shopping streets that were crowded with people all day long.

    And most shops were similar to that of other shopping streets (without key anchor stores) and so we walked around for about an hour and decided to go back to Nagoya station, that have more things to see, shop and dine. But it will be a good place to take a shelter should it rains or shine brightly since it's airconditioned!

    And it took less than 10mins to reach there (2 stations @ 230yen).
