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.
