In the quest to visit all 47 prefectures of Japan, I embarked on yet another journey to this fascinating country to explore a few destinations in Aichi, Gifu and Mie Prefectures. My adventure began with Japan Airlines JL712 that brought me to Narita International Airport before I caught a domestic flight to Nagoya.

With lingering sleepiness and bubbling excitement, I left the house early for the morning flight. Changi Airport Terminal 1, where I checked in for my flight, was pretty bustling even before 6.00am.
 |
| It wasn't until recently that I learned Louis Vuitton's slogan: 'The Art of Travel'. |
I decided to take a quick detour to Terminal 2, which had been partially reopened at that point. Among the highlights is the Enchanted Garden.
 |
| Its intricate blooms are a reminder of nature's resilience even in an air-conditioned environment. |
Boarding commenced promptly 30 minutes before the scheduled departure time.
 |
| Gleaming white against the grey tarmac, the aircraft stood ready at the gate. |
The 202 Economy Class seats are arranged in a 2-3-2 configuration.
 |
| While the In-Flight Entertainment (IFE) screen was generally responsive, it was rather laggy at times. |
 |
| Economy Class passengers can enjoy an hour of complimentary Wi-Fi service. |
Once the safety demonstration video concluded, the aircraft took off to the skies smoothly.
 |
| Ascending into a canvas of blue~ |
I started a game of mahjong during the initial climb before watching Puss in Boots: The Last Wish.
 |
| What gave rise to the myth that cats have nine lives? |
Initially I thought they'd proceed with the main meal service, but apparently the flight attendants started with givng out snack packets and beverages first.
 |
| Hmm… They might've been trying to clear some stocks. |
My food blog is already prepared with the details of the meals. I wasn't expecting all these for a morning flight, but it was a pleasant surprise.
 |
| Brunch main course #1: Braised Pork Belly with Rice |
 |
| Brunch main course #2: Grilled Chicken with Rice |
Here's a quick look at the lavatory.
After the meal service, the flight attendants kindly requested passengers to lower their window shades. I spent most of the time watching TV shows.
 |
| Four and a half more hours to go~ |
 |
| Okinawan dragon fruit shaved ice! |
 |
| Hopefully I'll get to see cherry blossoms again soon! |
Prior to arrival, the flight attendants came around with a light snack service.
To be frank, I've lost count of how many times I've been to Japan. There's always something new to discover, and I feel lucky each time I get to return to the Land of the Rising Sun.
 |
| A winding river snakes through the landscape, its silvery surface reflecting the sunlight~ |
 |
| The Boeing 767-300 is installed with JAL SKY SUITE Ⅱ seats in the Business Class Cabin. |
I was prepared for the long immigration queue at Narita International Airport.
