Things to do in Nagoya

Our guide, Liu, was thorough, approachable, and very organized. He served as both the English and Chinese guide for our bus, giving all the instructions in both languages with great energy. He also created WhatsApp and LINE groups, making it easy to receive updates and contact him throughout the tour. The ride was smooth and comfortable thanks to our drivers, Mr. Tanaka and Mr. Ikura. As a solo traveler with limited time, I found this tour to be excellent value for money. The itinerary was well planned, and we were given maps with suggested walking routes around Takayama and Shirakawa-go. There was enough free time for me to hike to the Shirakawa-go Observatory despite the summer heat. Liu also went above and beyond by taking my photos during my Hida beef lunch. We returned to Nagoya Station on schedule, and the entire trip was seamless. Overall, it was a great experience, and I highly recommend this tour.

Tour guide Ms. Keng is very wonderful lady, who deeply introduces the background, history and culture of each stop point in Hida Takeyama and Shirakawa-go Gassho-zukuri Village. She bilingually explains all of them in details makes us impressible. My family and I very enjoy this one-day tour a lot. Wish have another tour here in the future.

One of the Best solo trip when you're at Nagoya. The Bus Transfers is very smooth considering a gloomy weather. Ms. Sue is very Accommodating at guests. English-Chinese translation well done. definitely a recommended activity when at Nagano / Nagoya that's Ultimate Nature Trip. Please preserve these Japanese Alps, Bridge, and beautiful crystal clear river!

Kamikochi, known as "God's Homeland," truly is the most beautiful hiking destination. Walking along the Azusa River trail, nestled beneath the Hotaka mountain range, is incredibly refreshing. The breathtaking scenery, where the clear stream intertwines with the Hotaka peaks, is stunning and truly uplifting. Our tour guide, Yukino, was exceptionally dedicated on this trip. She meticulously prepared all the information, including introductions to attractions, suggested routes, and food recommendations, providing comprehensive details to all participants. She also catered to both Chinese and English-speaking guests, proving to be an incredibly diligent and responsible leader. Highly recommended!

Since these locations are over two hours from Nagoya by car, it is definitely worth joining a local tour. The guide was excellent—responsible, well-organized, and provided plenty of free time, which was more than enough for the visit. I loved the first stop the most, it is well worth the trip. The 'Silver Clock' meeting point is very easy to find, and the maps and suggestions provided by the guide were detailed and easy to follow. They also set up WhatsApp and WeChat groups to ensure seamless communication throughout the day.

◎ The timing was excellent; we not only explored three areas of Ghibli Park but also visited Japan's renowned Toyota Museum. The itinerary was very fulfilling. ◎ The round-trip bus saved us a lot of time we would have spent on transfers. The bus was quite comfortable, and I even fell asleep on the way back. ◎ Our tour guide was a very interesting Japanese gentleman, I believe his name was "Ushida Yasuhiro." On the way there, he patiently introduced the itinerary, counted heads, and kept the atmosphere lively. On the way back, seeing that everyone was tired, he started singing for us and even handed out song sheets (Ponyo's theme song, which Fan Xiaoxuan covered as "Doudoulong"). The trip was quite enjoyable. ◎ Ghibli Park is definitely worth a visit; it's Miyazaki's world everywhere you look. I spent a long time taking photos in the Ghibli's Grand Warehouse. At Mononoke Village, I didn't have the patience to wait in long lines, so I only spent about an hour there and rode the carousel 🎠. There were many tourists from Japan, Korea, and Taiwan, and they were all quite enthusiastic and willing to help take photos, which was very nice. ◎ Afterwards, we went to the Toyota Museum and saw many cars, souvenirs, and cultural exhibits. It was excellent.

the best legoland by far! :) My son and mothet enjoyed the rides! :) Hassle free in entering. staff are courteous and polite :) This Legoland experience is one for the books and were happy to have visited and tried (almost) all the rides ♥️

we were really amazed at how huge the aquarium is! they have orcas, dolphins, penguins, deep sea fishes etc. its very easy to spend the whole day here. there is also a food court within the compound with different yummy options. the aquarium is really worth a visit if ever you are visiting Nagoya.

Nagoya Castle was one of the highlights of our trip and far exceeded my expectations. The castle grounds are beautiful, well-maintained, and rich with history. While the main castle tower is impressive, I highly recommend taking the time to explore the entire complex rather than limiting your visit to the castle and Honmaru Palace. The palace itself is stunning and absolutely worth seeing, but there is much more to discover throughout the grounds. One thing that greatly enhanced our experience was wearing yukata during our visit. If you have the opportunity, I highly recommend renting a yukata or kimono before your visit. The effort is worth it. Be sure to explore the quieter areas around the moat and the back portions of the castle grounds. There are beautiful views overlooking the city. If you are visiting Nagoya, do not miss Nagoya Castle. Give yourself plenty of time to explore, wander, and enjoy the grounds. It is far more than just a castle—it is an experience.
