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.

“Off the beaten path”
We had an awesome day exploring some hidden gems with Noel. The giant green Buddha was definitely a highlight. It was also great to learn the day to day life of an ex Kiwi lining in Japan. A lot was packed in to the tour time, but lots of photo and question opportunities. Many thanks!

“Best Tour Guide for Nagoya!”
We had an indescribably great day with Noel away from the typical tourist attractions. He showed us the great Buddha, took us to visit Shinshū Ōtani-ha Nagoya-Betsuin Temple and we ended the day with a trip to Nagoya Castle. We would highly recommend Noel because he did a great job organizing everything and we would spend another day with him anytime. He gave us so much historical information, it was very informative and exciting!
Noel M.
Thank you so much. I very much enjoyed showing off a few of my favourite places here in Nagoya. I'm sure that you'll love the remainder of your travels around Japan. Meeting you and your family was fantastic and I greatly appreciate you helping me improve my German vocabulary. Safe journeys.
