Japan 2019 Trip Day 1: Explore around Nagano

Our (wife and I) first ever trip to Japan (after saying for so long)! It is a red-eye flight from Singapore to Haneda International Airport via Japan Airlines JL38 on Business Class (I will be doing a review on that soon!).
Upon clearing immigration, collecting our luggage, exchanging our JR Passes at a booth a few steps away after stepping out of immigration, plus a couple of train transfers before taking the Shinkansen from Tokyo Station to Nagano Station (phew, that’s quite a handful).

Rikitei - One of the best Tonkatsu in Ueda?

Planned to reach Ueda earlier in the afternoon to do some sightseeing prior to dinner at Rikitei, but some trains are cancelled in the afternoon (as still on recovery mode from Typhoon Hagibis) which I wasn’t aware.

But regards to food, come hell or high water I will go for it when I have planned. In short, we travelled to Ueda just for a dinner at Rikitei, is it worth it?
