Two National Treasures of Inuyama and Castle Town
You might know that there are many castles in Japan. But did you know there had been about 200 castles in Japan in the late 19th century, but there are only 12 castles keeping their original style. Inuyama castle designated as National Treasure is one of them and the oldest castle in the country. I am sure you will enjoy the inside the castle where you can feel the atmosphere of the samurai warriors at the time. We visit the castle after passing through nice red gates of a Shinto shrine. After looking around the historical castle, I would show you around the castle town. There are several museums associated with the castle and the famous festival held once a year which features 13 gorgeously decorated high wheel floats. Visiting them with me will help you build the familiarity with Japan. When it comes to lunch, you can choose your favorite out of my recommendation such as tofu dishes, Japanese style of set meal. After strolling around the castle town, we visit Urakuen. It is a Japanese style garden including several tea houses, one of which is historical tea house called "Joan (national treasure)". You can enjoy the beautiful garden depending on the season, cherry blossom in spring, fresh green in summer, changing beautiful colors of leaves in autumn and snowy view in winter. This place will make you feel calm and relax because the spirit of the Japanese tea ceremony exists inside the garden. I would recommend that you have Japanese tea called matcha and Japanese confectionery. I will show you how to drink it based on the certain way of having tea. I love this area and I hope you know the charm of this place as well. I am looking forward to seeing you.

Aichi Tour Reviews
“The warmest guide you could ask for”
We engaged Saki-san wanting to see Nagoya through a local's perspective, but got so much more. From the get-go, she felt just like a friend. As a fellow young parent, she was patient and could absolutely anticipate the needs of our two young families, engaging the young ones while making great recommendations for our group. I especially enjoyed having her there as a fellow Ghibli fan, and she was instrumental in pointing us through shortcuts that made our time extremely well spent. Her command of English is superb and she is so warm hearted, even helping us find a stylist for one of our daughters to get her back to school trim. Thank you loads Saki-san!
“Wonderful guide for Ghibli park tour!”
Our family of 4 (including two kids age 10 and 11) had a wonderful time with Saki at the Ghibli park! She arranged premium tickets for us on the day that we desired. If you've done your research, you'd know that it's not easy to get these tickets from abroad. So if you are a Ghibli fan, don't wait and reach out to Saki! She was very organized and extremely personable. We had a fantastic time together touring Ghibli park, talking about anything Ghibli, as well as life in Japan, raising kids, shopping in Nagoya, etc. She is truly a joy to be around and made our day far more enjoyable. If we are ever back in Nagoya again (we sure hope we will), we will be reaching out to her to guide us again!
Saki K.
Thank you so much for your comment about my tour, it was pleasure to meet you all! I am glad you could have a good time at Ghibli Park, I am excited to see you again next time you visit Nagoya. Hopefully we can visit skating rinks as well:) Have a great time rest of your stay! Saki
“Roy is an Excellent Guide!”
Four of us hired Roy for a tour of Nagoya, and it was great. We took subways and trains, visited Atsuta Shrine, Nagoya Castle, shopping areas and much more. We had a very nice lunch, and enjoyed Roy's deep knowledge of the area and Japanese history. It was really enjoyable learning the history behind the sites we visited. I would strongly recommend Roy as a tour guide. His English is great, and we enjoyed his tour very much!
Roy K.
David-san, I was grateful for your choosing me as a tour guide in Nagoya. I really enjoyed the conversation with you and your people about Japan and the US. It was a good fortune for us to see the first visit of a baby to Atsuta Shrine, called OMIYA-MAIRI, accompanied with their parents and grand parents as well as a bride and bridegroom, wearing formal Kimono. I do hope that you will keep enjoying the rest of Japan trip safely. Best Regards, Roy
