Twenty-Sixth and Twenty-Seventh

TWENTY-SIXTH WEEK

We reached the half-way mark for the semester and I had tests for every class.  So, I spent my time off studying for my various tests.

TWENTY-SEVENTH WEEK

KAGUYAMA

 Kaguyama is a part of  Nisshin, not too far from Proxy.  Cross the street towards Nissan.
 Instead of crossing towards the drugstore, turn left.
 Go straight.
 Through the neighborhood.

 Turn left at the end of the road.
 Go straight.

 Turn right.
 Go straight and cross the street at the end.
 Go up the hill.

 Turn left at the crossroads.
 You'll see the store across the street.
 A sandwich shop will be at your left.
 So will a yakiniku.
 At the stoplight turn right.
 Just keep going straight.
 It'll be straight for quite a while.

 You'll see a Circle K to your left.
 Just keep going straight
 You'll reach a hill. This hill is really fun to take downhill on a bike, not so much on the way up.
 Keep going straight down the hill.


 Still straight downhill.


 You'll eventually see a Seven Eleven, cross the street towards the Seven Eleven.
  Keep heading straight past the Seven Eleven.
 You'll see a Cafe Gasto across the street.
You've reached Kaguyama once see a big store at a crossroads.  The store is a bookstore on the first floor and a video and manga rental store on the second floor.  I think the books you can rent are just manga, and possibly music as well, but not completely sure.  You can definitely rent movies and TV shows. 
 When you reach the store cross the street to the left.
 Looking back you can see the road and the store across.
 But keep going straight.
 Go past some kind of monument, I think.
 Across the street you'll see a store.  It's a sweets shop.  It sells both Western and Japanese sweets.
 Keep going straight.
 You'll see a post office across the street.
 Keep going straight and you'll see a little bridge.
 Go past the bridge.
 You'll see a bike store across the street.
 Keep going straight, you'll see a store called Joshin, which sells toys and electronic devices.
 Across the street you'll see Asbee, which is a shoe store.
And right past Joshin you'll see Piago, which is a supermarket.  But the interesting thing is that inside the building there is a Baskin Robbins.  Pretty good now that the weather is hot and they have some interesting flavors that I have never seen before, tasty too.

Twenty-Fifth Week

LIMINO LINE

 A subway line that passes through Nagakute and connects to Fujigaoka, the last stop in the Higashiyama line.
 In my opinion the easiest way to get there is on the Kururin Bus.  On the light blue 中央線 (Chuo line) to 長久手古戦場駅 (Nagakute Kosenjo Station)


 This stop is for two lines of the Kururin Bus, make sure you get on the blue one, not the purple one.
 The last stop of the blue line is the Limino station

 When you get off the bus, the stairs to the station are on the right


The ticket machines are on the left.

APITA

Apita is probably the closest mall to Proxy.  It's not as big as Nagoya Dome Aeon Mall, but it's more convenient. To get to Apita using the Limino, take the train to Fujigaoka on the track number 2.
 When you get off the Limino go through exit number 1.
 Then just keep walking


Until you get to an entrance.
