Things to do in The Tokugawa Art Museum

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!!

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.

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.

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 amazing but the only problem was that the klook order doesn't include holding the pigs, but if you add 1100 yen more you can hold them and thats amazing

A journey through Japanese history. Many exhibits, ranging from armor and weapons to tapestries and documents.

The staff were very polite and helpful from start to finish, and they clearly explained anything I didn't understand! Thanks to them, I was able to create something very cute and satisfying! I'd love to visit again.

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