What you’ll do

To see all of Nagoya’s top attractions, you’d need way more than eight hours – but with a local host by your side, you’ll easily check at least 10 of its top spots off your sightseeing list. Take a tranquil stroll through the traditional Shirotori Garden, and join throngs of otaku enthusiasts in Osu, home of the annual World Cosplay Summit (and 700-year-old Osu Kannon Temple). Follow your host through busy central districts, past the iconic TV Tower, trendy boutiques, and the Sky Boat Ferris Wheel – mounted right on the side of Sunshine Sakae Mall! Hungry? Experience authentic Nagoya at a hidden backstreet bar, or in the city’s best-kept secret: the Fushimi underpass, where traditional restaurants serve the most mouthwatering food.

Reviews

    We started late because of a mistake made by me. Roberto clearly explained the importance and the different architectural styles for the various buildings we visited. He also illuminated me about the ongoing tradition of creating various types of historical figurines and the reasons Neapolitan’s still use them today.

    Takaya was most informative and we enjoyed his enthusiasm for Osaka. He reached out to us beforehand to see what our interests were and what we did and didn’t want to do and see. He delivered what we wanted and we were delighted with our tour.
