What to Expect

Nagoya is the 4th largest city in Japan with a population of about 2.2 million. I would like to guide you Nagoya Castle, Osu Kannon Temple, old shopping streets, Oasis21 and Nagoya TV Tower.

Nagoya Castle was first built by Tokugawa Ieyasu in 1612. Afterwards it was burnt down in 1945 and it was reconstructed in 1959. You can see Golden Shachi on the both ends of the top roof. Furthermore the Honmaru (the keep of a castle) reconstructed in 2013 is open to the public, too. You can see beautifully decorated wall paintings in the Honmaru.

Osu Kannon is popluarly known as one of the three Kannons in Japan. And next to the Temple, we can walk through Osu old shopping streets. It is a mix-cultured town.

Sakae is the central area of business in Nagoya. You can enjoy Oasis21 and Nagoya TV Tower near Sakae. Oasis21 is a big roof made of glass foating in the air. It is called "Water Space Ship."

Nagota TV Tower used to be built as a broadcasting tower in 1954 and played the role until 2011. Now the TV Tower is lit up by using 100,000 LEDs. So we can enjoy the night view from the observatory of TV Tower. in particular the TV Tower viewed from Oasis21 is the best,

Local foods are Hitsumabushi, Misonikomi-udon, and Kishimen.

Hitsumabushi is a bowl of rice topped with finely chopped grilled eels. Misonikomi-udon is a udon noodle boiled in miso (fermented soybean paste) soup. kishimen is wider or flatter noodle than usual udon noodle.

Great tour of Osaka

Very informative and knowledgeable. Help us with savings on the transport and advised on places to see. Very friendly too.

Hideo Y.

We enjoyed having Osaka local food such as Takoyaki, Okonomiyaki, and kushikatsu for lunch. We went to most scenic spots by subway in Osaka. 1-day pass card was very convenient. I wish you and all your family good health and happiness. Thank you.

Great tour of Narita whirlpool

Hideo was a charming host, and everything ran very well, according to the plan he laid out. I had been wanting to see the Naruto whirlpool for a long time, and the spectacle of nature did not disappoint. The Tile museum was very intriguing in its own way. You bet to see reproduced masterpieces all in one space so it became easy to track a painters artistic progress throughout their lives rather than having to go to different countries to see art piecemeal.

Hideo Y.

I'm .very happy to receive your excellent review. Naruto whirlpool is one of the three greatest whirlppools in the world. We had a great time to watch the whirlpool at high tide. In the Otsuka Museum of Art, or The Tile museum, we could see about 1,000 full-scale paintings in porcelain panel. In particular Vatican's Sistine Chapel was represented in the front main hall. It was spectacular, wasn't it! I wish you all the best in the future. Thank you.

We love Hideo!

Hideo was thoughtful and interesting. We truly enjoyed our time with him.

We enjoyed walking through the flashy billboards on the Dotonbori street. We have dinner close to Abeno Harukas, the tallest building in Japan. Next time I'd like to visit Umeda Sky Building with you. Thank you!
