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.

Stephen communicated with us several times before our tour date and met us promptly at the cruise ship port at the designated time. He designed a wonderful experience for us that included a relaxed bento box lunch under the Sakura (cherry blossom) trees and a peaceful stroll through Tsurumai Park. Stephen was very personable and considerate, taking great care to make sure our needs were met. It was a perfect day that far exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend a tour with Stephen.

TK was informative, and took us to the most important and cultural sites in Nagoya. She made sure we saw cherry blossoms that most tourist would not know existed. Pleasant, spoke perfect English and absolute gem of a humans being.

Takako-san made our day trip to Nagoya an enjoyable one. Whether is was a general request like guiding us around Nagoya castle, taking us to the Dragon's baseball stadium team shop, or a very specific one to search for an item at a local drug store, she delivered. We learned so much about the city and the people who live there. Would definitely recommend her for anyone visiting Nagoya.

Tour guide was punctual. Went to the Nagoya castle and the shrine and finished off the last stop at Osu shopping district. Weather was good and we went around via the subway.

Once you book, the agency will send you questions on your preferences. Then we were assigned with a guide who helped me plan with what we want. For a Nagoya private tour, price is really good. Our guide was perfect. We were able to plan what we wanted to go/do and we had a lot of fun. Highly recommended! Take note: this is a walking tour. Transpo and food are your own expense.
