How your day could unfold
A flexible, unscripted experience designed entirely around your interests. Your host will adapt the day based on what excites you mostWhat you’ll do
You could dive into the weird and wonderful world of otaku, geek culture, in Osu, where manga stores sit alongside centuries-old shops selling traditional Japanese crafts, and fluro-colored cosplay (gaming superfan) costumes are nothing out of the ordinary! Perhaps you’ll feast on traditional food at futuristic malls in Sakae, or slurp ramen noodles to your hearts’ content - it’s polite to do so! You could explore the cherry-blossom-covered grounds around Nagoya Castle, discover the silent forests surrounding 700-year-old Atsuta Shrine, or head further afield to gigantic amusement park Nagashima Spa Land for roller coasters, water slides, and a relaxing soak in the onsen – Japan’s natural hot springs.

Saki-san was our tour guide for our half day tour in Nagoya. She spoke fluent English, was a very friendly guide and we enjoyed her company! Saki was very flexible and reached out earlier prior to the actual tour to better understand our interest and places where we wanted to visit. In particular, her sharing on the history of the palace and Nagoya castle was very interesting. Lastly, Saki also introduced us to the Nagano old street and recommended a local sake bar / diner for our dinner. Thank you Saki! We highly recommend her if you are planning to tour Nagoya :)

Takako was very eager to guide us as she was already texting me a few days earlier. She was responsive to my queries and changes in places to go to. Upon meeting, Takako was very pleasant to talk to and she was always smiling while explaining the tourist places we visited. We had a great time with her.

It was nice to be able to have a pleasant and enjoyable time at a Japanese restaurant of the level I wanted. It was also nice to have the time to find nearby attractions while taking the subway and listen to detailed explanations while experiencing them.
