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 guide Summer is awesome, she has gone above & beyond to take care of us and guide us to make sure we experience a great tour. She sent us via the chatgroup she created the materials/photos, information, and recommendations that she talked about and is very clear on the return times and how to find our bus. when the lunch we ordered was late, she even helped serve the ordered set meals just so we are able to eat quickly and have ample time to explore.

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!

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.

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.

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.

If you enjoy taking photos, you might want to choose just one location, otherwise you'll feel rushed. Alternatively, I'd suggest staying overnight. Our driver was excellent; she drove very smoothly and was extremely polite. A six-hour round trip (three hours each way) must have been tiring for her. I highly recommend visiting Shirakawa-go in both summer and winter; it's truly beautiful.

What to know about Nagoya Castle

Nagoya Castle is a historically important castle in Nagoya, Japan, known for its magnificent architecture and rich history. Built during the Edo period by Tokugawa Ieyasu, it was the home of the Owari branch of the Tokugawa family. Although the castle burned from air rides during World War II, the main castle tower and Honmaru Palace have been beautifully restored. The castle grounds are also worth seeing with its beautiful gardens like Ninomaru Garden, stone walls, traditional tea houses, and amazing golden shachihoko—mythical creatures that sit on the roof. But, there are plenty of things to do here besides sightseeing. At the castle's main entrance by the east gate, you can begin your adventure into Japanese history. Inside, there are exhibits on Nagoya Castle's history and Japanese folklore. Plus, you can watch the Nagoya Omotenashi Bushotai samurai performers bring Japanese stories to life with their shows. Close to Nagoya Station, the castle is easy to get to, making it a great place to visit. So why wait? Nagoya Castle is a must-see in Nagoya city.
