	Aeon Shopping Center - Ozone
	Possibly the largest Aeon complex in Nagoya, Nagoya Dome Aeon can be reached within a few mintes walk of the JR, Subway and Meitetsu Station.  What makes this Aeon even more impressive than others is the sheer number of restaurants and cafes inside; one example being that their are 3 starbucks cafes within the complex!! Watch out though, just after a Dragons (Nagoya's professional baseball team) game, the place can be flooded with people looking for a bite to eat. Try "dessert" forest, a themed area where you can enjoy sweets and cakes from around Japan. Website in Japanese  /  Click here for Map
	Kamimaezu Store
	Located about 5 - 10 minutes walk from Sakae or Osu or 5 minutes from Kamimaezu station, this fantastic little store is great for fruit and veg.  Prices for lettuce, potatoes, carrots, onions etc is almost half what you would pay if shopping at one of the station surpermarkets.  They often have special sales days when you can pick up even bigger deals.  One to watch out for is a wednesday market when for 100 yen, you can put as many carrots, potatoes or onion as you can into a small plastic bag - bargain.
	Sanoya - Osu Kannon
	Found inside the famous Osu covered shopping arcade, one of the cheapest and best value supermarkets in Nagoya exists.  Extremely good deals on meats, fresh fish,veg, bento boxes and cooked food make this supermarket a must if you're on a budget.  It's always busy so be prepared to muscle your way around the store - but this only adds to the fun.
