Things to do in Aichi

This place is a dream come true for Ghibli fans! It's so big, I couldn't see everything in one visit and will definitely have to go back. Personally, the train ride from Osaka city center took quite a while, but it was totally worth it. The souvenirs and gifts were irresistible; I just had to buy some. If you're planning to go, I highly recommend getting the express pass – it's worth it! You need to book in advance, as tickets go on sale on the 10th of each month. Make sure to read up on more information before you plan your trip.

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.

Wonderful experience! Incredibly worth it if you are in Nagoya. The Klook Process: Super easy. Instant QR code meant we scanned at the gate and walked straight in. No ticket booth lines! The Park: Perfect for families with kids aged 3–10, but adults will appreciate it too. The Lego exhibits and landmarks are awesome. The Crowd Factor: Much less crowded than USJ or Disney. We only waited about 15–20 minutes per ride. Definitely recommend booking through Klook to save time!

always a joy to join the tour, our 3rd time in 3 seasons. love this tour, we had an overlooking view stop, the bus also dropped us off to the top for the shirakawago landscape and ample time to roam around takayama and shira. the driver is great. our tour guide, ms Jane Geng, was very informative, patient, attentive and speaks english to chinese fluently

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.

The Takayama and Shirakawa-go day tour was excellent! Although I didn't receive the email with the meeting point and tour guide information the day before, I found the tour guide at the meeting location the next morning, confirmed my registration details, and completed the day tour. The weather was beautiful today, the driver drove smoothly and steadily, and the tour guide managed the time perfectly. They also thoughtfully provided maps for Takayama and Shirakawa-go, which saved a lot of time we would have spent figuring things out ourselves. We had 90 minutes in Takayama in the morning and 90 minutes in Shirakawa-go in the afternoon, which was enough time to walk to the Shirakawa-go observation deck. I chose the option with lunch, and the lunch duration was 40 minutes. The restaurant had already prepared the meals when we arrived, and the tour guide thoughtfully arranged our seats; everything was perfectly organized. The day tour concluded with a smooth return to Nagoya Station by 6:00 PM. This was my second Klook day tour, and I've been very satisfied both times.

Saw a TikTok about this place and became super hyperfixated that I NEEDED to go here no matter what. Taking this tour was a great choice as it allowed for an easy transfer to and from Kamikochi. The first stop at Taisho Ike Pond was breathtaking which got me excited for the rest of the walk. the greenery of the forest in mid June was a sight to behold along with the Japanese Apls in the distance. The trial was not super crowded until you reached Kappa Bridge. There is also an additional trail to Myojin Bridge and Myojin First Pond but only if you have an additional 2 hours to spare. I was taking my time on the first trail that couldn’t make it to the second but I would definitely come back to do it!!

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.

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.
