Things to do in Osu Shopping District

Toko-san and Satsuki-san were extremely friendly and kind, guiding us on a tour of the Osu Shopping District and treating us to delicious desserts at the end. Along the way, we passed many shops that only locals know about, allowing us to experience the local lifestyle on a deeper level.

Very updated and very friendly our companion Mr Li. Thank you so much.

Thank you, Jin for the excellent service and hospitality. As we were the only family joining the tour on that day, it became a private tour and we got to travel to Nagoya in a comfortable ride with the tour guide, Jin, driving professionally. Jin has also offered to introduce us to great lunch place in Osu Shopping Street so we don't need to search on our own blindly. Once again, thank you, Jin!

Great aquarium with lots of dolphins, 2 belugas and an orca, which is not easily seen elsewhere. Good value for money for families with children who love animals. Lots of interesting information which you can use Google Translate as some of the information are in Japanese only.

An adorable experience with adorable staff! The team really makes an effort to ensure international travelers feel included. The explanations are simple and clear, and they don't hesitate to come and help you. I had a great time there, and the wagashi were delicious!!

Our experience with VASARA Kimono Rental in Nagoya was exceptional. While this location had fewer yukata choices than I expected, the staff more than made up for it with their kindness, enthusiasm, and genuine care. I hoped to wear a red yukata to match my wife’s, but none were available. The staff went above and beyond, searching through unopened boxes until they found a maroon yukata with dragon designs. They paired it with a blue obi featuring a water pattern. They also dressed my wife and daughter beautifully, and transformed my son into a young samurai. Seeing our whole family dressed together was a highlight of our trip. Walking through Nagoya and visiting Nagoya Castle in yukata felt immersive and special. We received many friendly compliments and interactions along the way. The VASARA team didn’t just rent us clothing, they created a wonderful family memory we will cherish for years. Minasama, taihen osewa ni narimashita. Arigatō gozaimashita. Dōzo ogenki de.

Easily book your tickets with Klook and enter without waiting. Nagoya Castle has a completely different feel from Osaka Castle. Above all, I loved the scent of wood inside the building, and the elaborate patterns and paintings in each room were impressive. The staff were also very kind, which made the visit enjoyable. If you're visiting Nagoya, you should definitely go to Nagoya Castle. Klook states that the adult admission fee will increase from 500 yen to 1,000 yen starting October 1st.
