Day 1:  January 29, 2008 

We were excited about our trip.  A long waited trip.  According to our itinerary, we were to visit the Nagoya Castle, the Italian Village near port of Nagoya (Villaggio Italia), and Magome – the post town used to offer food and lodgings to travelers, kind of like the bed and breakfast nowadays.

Matt and I woke up super early as we could not control our excitement.  While we were getting ready for the big day, I could not resist taking pictures of the toilet.  The most important feature of all, it came with a heated seat.  How come we haven’t had such an intriguing product in Home Depot yet?  And with a gentle touch of a button or two, your hiney was clean and shine.

We were ready by 6:00 and breakfast was not starting till 7:00, so we turned on the TV.  Good morning, Japan.  I took a few shots of what was playing.  I am glad we have Good Morning, America with Diane Sawyer.

Here’s the pictures, a slide show, that captured where we went on our first day in Japan.  Click on the picture to move onto the next one, or it will change every 10 seconds.
