What To Expect

Nagoya Castle

Nagoya Castle is right in the heart of Nagoya, and is very famous for its golden shachihoko (a mythical creature with a tiger's head and carp's body) figures on the roof. Ieyasu Tokugawa, the first shogun who established the Edo shougunate, built it in 1521. The main part of the castle was rebuilt after the war, and now you can climb to the top to feel like being a shogun to govern the country.

Atsuta Jingu Shrine

Atsuta Jingu Shrine is the second highest rank shrine of Japan, founded in the 8th century. It occupies a big area with huge woods in the metropolitan atomosphere of Nagoya, and there are always many people coming for all kinds of prayers. The woods are full of sacred and reverent feelings, and makes you feel something divine inside yourself, too.

We had a great experience and Toshie was an amazing guide. She was friendly and personable, and she was very knowledgeable about the area. We learned a lot about the history of Nagoya Castle and the shrine we visited. We highly recommend this tour, and if you're lucky enough to get Toshie as your guide, you will not be disappointed!

Todd was excellent & professional. We went to Nagoya Castle, Tokugawa Gardens & Mirai Tower in 4 hours. All great experience. We would highly recommend Todd & the next time spend more time at the Nagoya Castle & the beautiful Tokugawa Garden, since they also have a museum that we did not have time to see. Todd had an organized itinerary as we took the subway & taxi to our selected locations to efficiently & economically get from one place to the next.

We went to Nagoya Castle , Tokugawa Art museum and Tokugawa Garden. Masami Is our tour guide. We had to change the start time from 10 to 12. We really appreciate her willingness to accommodate the last minute request to pick up up from the Aichi art museum instead of from the cruise terminal. Which made our stay at Nagoya so pleasant.
