Things to do in Inuyama

The Nagoya Inuyama Castle & Magome-juku Full-Day Cultural Tour had a well-planned itinerary and offered a great cultural experience. The places we visited were beautiful and worth seeing, especially for those interested in history and traditional Japanese towns. It was quite hot during the tour, which made the day a bit tiring, but overall, the experience was enjoyable. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone who wants to explore the cultural and historical side of the Nagoya area.

I really enjoyed this tour. Nancy is super knowledgeable and shared a lot of interesting information. It was possible to leave stuff in the bus at different stops, which made the sightseeing much more relaxing.

A much more strenuous visit than expected! 😂 If you have difficulty walking, I'll be honest, I advise against it, because the climb on Nakasendo is unforgiving—my legs are still sore! Otherwise, from Inuyama to Tsumago-juku, the landscapes are magnificent and breathtaking! If you're lucky enough to go on a clear day, it will only be better. A truly fascinating and wonderful excursion!

To reach Inuyama Castle, you first have to walk up an incline. The stairs to the main keep are quite narrow, but the view from the top of the keep is beautiful for taking photos. Magome-juku is an uphill slope all the way to the observation deck, so it's not suitable for people with mobility issues.

The tour was wonderful. Our tour guide, Ogawa-san, was very thoughtful and considerate throughout the trip. Most of the participants were Chinese, and we were the only two Filipinos in the group. Despite this, Ogawa-san made a sincere effort to ensure we understood the historical explanations about each place. She kindly gave us additional explanations and even messaged us separately to confirm the meeting time and location so we would not get confused. Because of her attentiveness, we were never late, and we always felt that she was looking out for us. She was warm and genuinely committed to making sure everyone enjoyed the tour. 1 comment for improvement, please don’t drive too fast, Mr. Driver and maintain the bus. Overall, I truly loved the tour of the old towns. Inuyama Castle was especially memorable — I recommend climbing to the top because the view is absolutely worth it. The evening lighting ceremony was also beautiful and very special. I am very glad I booked this tour.

Nice day trip and very happy to have our guide (郭华娟), for her appropriate explanation of Nagoya's key atttactions and location details. She also gave details of Japan culture and specialty at different prefecture. Highly recommended!

Very interesting place if you are interested in Japanese history. it is a little bit far out and you have to plan ahead for traveling. Quite a lot of walking is required in open space and can get quite hot on a sunny day. Do check the weather and dress accordingly before you go ease of booking on Klook:easy service:good
