The Classic Nagoya Tour with the local
Nagoya, Japan’s fourth-largest city has a vibrant blend of history and modernity. I’d love to guide you through some of its most iconic landmarks, including Nagoya Castle, cultural stores, Osu Kannon Temple, charming old shopping streets, and the center of Nagoya: Sakae city. The most striking features about Nagoya Castle is the golden shachihoko, mythical tiger-headed carp, gleaming top of the roof.

Eat, drink, and discern like a local !
Nagoya city is well known for it's tasty local dishes. Red miso is the go to flavor for many dishes like miso katsu, doteni and doteyaki, miso nikomi udon, and of course, miso soup. Also, there are many local izakaiyas and yakitori (grilled chicken) shops all over the city. Personally, I am most familiar with the Osu-Kannon and Nagoya station areas. Not a fan of large chain shops, so I will show you the truly local shops.

“Nagoya Highlights”
Tommie T. Was excellent, we did not know what to expect at this port stop. She took us around to many sights seamlessly. Subway, bus and walking, do not think we missed anything. Tommie was very knowledgeable and explained items that the onsite guides did not know or forgot to tell us. Highly recommend her for your tour in Nagoya.
Tommie T.
Thank you so much for your kind words! I’m truly happy to hear that you enjoyed exploring Nagoya and that the tour went smoothly for you. It was a real pleasure guiding you around the city and sharing some of the local stories and culture. I really loved the warm, positive atmosphere you both created — I hope to travel like you two someday! Please come back to Japan if you have the chance. Until then, stay well and keep enjoying your adventures!

It was a pleasure to meet you both today. I felt a rapport with you from the start so it was as though I was spending the morning with two friends. I'm sure you'll have a fantastic adventure during the remainder of your time in Japan. Atala, keep up with your Japanese and a guide won't be necessary next time. Safe voyages.

“Fascinating and enjoyable day in Nagoya”
Had a great day with Noel, felt like being shown around by a friend. Noel took the time to find out about where we are from before we arrived and conversation flowed all day. Noel took us to neighbourhoods off the tourist track to see what felt like real Japanese life, unique shrines, temples and gardens. He had a great knowledge of local history and religion. Fabulous day, would highly recommend Noel if youre in town. Thank you Noel.

I had a wonderful morning with Stephen and Roberta. As you say, it's as if we'd been friends for ages. Please have a fantastic time during the remainder of your adventure and many thanks for your kind comments. Regards, Noel.
