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.

Gujyo Hachiman jyo- The Castle in the Sky and the best Unagi ever!
Gujo Hachiman Castle, located in Hachiman Town, Gujo City, Gifu Prefecture, is the oldest reconstructed wooden castle in Japan. Known for its elegant white keep, it’s often referred to as the “Castle in the Sky.” The castle sits atop Mt. Hachiman, overlooking the castle town, offering stunning seasonal views throughout the year. The early morning mist resembling a sea of clouds often occurs on cold mornings from autumn to winter (around November to February).
