Nagoya Castle tours

Really impressive itinerary and plenty of time in every location. Weather was a bit rainy, but it made the atmosphere iven more special. Enjoyed it a lot! Guide Han is super nice and gave plenty of information about the places we are visiting but also about Nagoya.

If you are worried about not knowing how to get to the meeting point, we recommend visiting it a day in advance. The driver will also send a message the evening before to confirm the meeting time and location. This tour had a small group size of only 10 people. Although it seemed we signed up for a Chinese-speaking tour, there were also foreign tourists in the group. The tour guide gave the impression of being a full-time driver and part-time guide. Since he needed to focus on driving the entire time, he couldn't provide any commentary about the attractions while on the bus, which was a bit unfortunate; he usually could only say a few brief words upon arriving at each destination. However, I would suggest that the driver at least proactively inform passengers of the upcoming travel time, otherwise, every time we got back on the bus, we had no idea when we would reach the destination. Reviews of the attractions are as follows: • Inuyama Castle: The scenery is gorgeous. Both the ancient castle architecture itself and the distant views from inside the castle are well worth seeing. However, please note that you need to climb four floors to reach the top, and each step is extremely steep (about twice as high as a regular staircase). If you are traveling with elderly family members, this will be physically exhausting and potentially hazardous. • Ena Gorge Bridge: If you visit in the summer, the scenery is very ordinary and this stop can be completely skipped. • Magome-juku and Tsumago-juku: These places preserve a strong traditional architectural style and are dreamily beautiful, making it feel like you've traveled back in time. If you enjoy hiking, we highly recommend trying the ancient trail hike between the two post towns; you just need to stay in touch with the driver in advance and arrange to meet at the endpoint.

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!

Thank you Taka! The tour was really informative and the quiz questions make it very interactive 😊 til next time!

Jin and our bus driver were quite knowledgeable, adaptable and kind. Ensure you’re prepared for the journey as it does involve a lot of walking as per the description. We thoroughly enjoyed all the places we visited. A definite must-do if you have a free full day in Nagoya. Thank you!

Great tour just hours away from Nagoya. Inuyama castle and the walking trail of Nakasendo is definitely worth a visit! The tour guide named Liu is detailed on explanation.

I had never participated in a Klook day tour before, and I was pleasantly surprised by how simple and convenient it was. Our amazing tour guide, Shu Yue (highly recommend!), provided detailed explanations and even suggested great restaurants and cafes for delicious food and drinks. I truly recommend taking this day tour, and if you're lucky enough to get Shu Yue as your guide, it's an instant bonus!

I've joined many one-day tours in Japan, but this was my first time with a female tour guide. Xiao Yu was incredibly attentive, the arrangements were smooth, and the timing was precise. My legs can't handle walking too far, and she made sure I was well taken care of. Thank you for this Shirakawa-go and Takayama experience; it was a very relaxing and comfortable trip. 🙏🏻 I will definitely come back again!

We mainly signed up for Gujo Hachiman Castle, and it's definitely worth climbing up to the main keep to take a look. The only downside was that we only had an hour in Gujo Hachiman, which felt a bit rushed if you wanted to climb up to the castle. In Hida Takayama Old Town, you must try Hida beef, and in Shirakawa-go, you absolutely have to go up to the observation deck. Our tour guide, Liu Chang, was excellent (100 points)! Before the tour started, she introduced the attractions in three languages (Chinese, English, and Japanese) and clearly communicated the meeting times. The driver drove steadily. It was a very fulfilling trip, highly recommended.
