Join this unforgettable tour that takes you to Japan's oldest castle with a private experienced guide and minivan. Relax and enjoy the view while I take you from your place of departure to the locations and back. I will answer any questions you have about Japan and life in Japan, through the eyes of an unbiased "Japan lifer". Wear a kimono and wonder through charming streets while savoring local delicacies. Perhaps take a ride in a traditional rickshaw and have matcha green tea in a traditional Japanese garden. Throughout the experience, I will capture your memories with video and photos. Finally, we’ll visit the unique Penis Shrine, where you can pray for a bountiful harvest, the flourishing of nature(fertility), and prosperous descendants or just take some awesome pics. On the way back I can stop at a local supermarket or any shop you want for you to stock up on necessities, before returning you to your hotel/boat/private plane

Sanko Inari Shrine
First stop: Located at the base of Inuyama Castle, Sanko Inari Shrine boasts a rich and storied history. Originally known as “Sankojisan,” the shrine has long been held in high esteem by local and distant practitioners alike. Every year on July 22, a traditional festival draws families to the shrine after dark, carrying small red paper “chochin” lanterns hanging from bamboo branches. On this day, large Makiwara boats adorned with numerous paper lanterns in a dome shape float down the Kiso River, accompanied by traditional music. The reflection of the swaying lanterns on the water's surface is particularly enchanting, making this summer tradition a beloved event in Aichi.

Hiro, our guide was considerate and conscious about guiding us in Nagoya. We enjoyed our visit to Nagoya by car with him. He took extra effort to make sure we were doing alright and was comfortable throughout our tour. He provided interesting information and was easy to converse with. I would recommend Hiro as a guide while in Nagoya. We truly had a memorable visit.

We have been in Japan for 2 weeks now, so we have had a few different tour guides. I can honestly say that Tomoko has been our favourite so far! She made our trip to Inuyama really special and went above and beyond to cater to our interests. Tomoko was a wealth of interesting information and also took lovely photos of us that we can treasure. We communicated with Serge during the booking process, and he is hilarious!! You can't go wrong with booking a tour through them, so we highly recommend that you do!
