Things to do in Atsuta Jingu

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

We had a wonderful day! The guide was so friendly and had clearly put a lot of thought into personalising the tour for us, catering to our specific interests. The guide was so good, we are already planning our return to Nagoya. Thank you so much!

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.

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.

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.

A bird eye's view of Nagoya, especially area around the Nagoya Station and even Nagoya Castle. On days of good visibility, you can see a mountain or a few. I can see Mt. Ibuki during sunset. Visit on weekday for cheaper entry. Redemption is easy as the staff is readily available to help. Depending on your pace and interest, you can spend 10mins or even 2 hours here. There are seats around, drink vending machines and it is semi outdoor. My discomfort is the bbq smoke and smell from the open air restaurant.

Highly recommended this experience. it’s an hour for the sweets making and 20-30mins for the matcha tea ceremony. Our teacher was lovely and gave good clear instructions on what we had to do. Both my boys 12y and 13y really enjoyed it and found the sweets to taste good. Thankyou for the great memories.

The experience was very enjoyable! The lady leading the activity was very patient and translated into English for Europeans like us. By the end of the activity, everyone had successfully made the confections thanks to her explanations.
