Even living near Nagoya for many years I still got to know off the beaten track bars and clubs, but the best part of it was meeting fun people to hang out with 👯♂️

Summary:
Had an amazing time with Seth and the group! Seth took us to fun bars and we capped it off at a night club. We were a group of 5 so it was just fun to hang out and get to know the people. I also felt safe with the group. Seth and the group saved me from some sleezy guys at the club 😅 10/10 would recommend!
