Additional information

For Walking Tours

This tour involves a considerable amount of walking and stairs. Please make sure you are fit enough to participate

Other Reminders

Some of the stairs at Inuyama Castle are quite steep, so it is recommended that you wear comfortable, non-slip shoes. Elderly visitors may find it a bit strenuous to climb, so it's best to take it slow and not push yourself too hard.
Tsumago-juku and Magome-juku are both historic streets full of ancient charm. Exploring them requires walking, and you can only truly experience the atmosphere of the Edo period by strolling slowly.
We will send an email to guests between 18:00-21:00 on the day before the trip to inform them of the guide and vehicle information for the next day. Please check your inbox in time. The email may be mistakenly placed in the spam folder. If it is the peak season, the email sending time may be delayed, please understand. In special cases, if you receive multiple emails, please refer to the latest email.
Please be aware that because this is a group tour, there may be guests who speak other languages traveling with you in the same vehicle. The tour guide may provide bilingual explanations. Thank you for your understanding.
As the day trip involves carpooling, we kindly request that you arrive at the meeting point or attraction on time. No refunds will be issued for late arrivals, and you will be responsible for any unexpected expenses and liabilities incurred due to your tardiness. Thank you for your understanding.

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 Chinese tour guide Amy was very helpful. I accidentally dropped my passport at Inuyama Castle, and she helped me call the castle to ask them to hold it for me. When I went to pick it up the next morning, they were very careful and asked me what color the wallet holding my passport was. Amy helped everyone take pictures, and at each stop, she told everyone the meeting time. The only downside was that the microphone on the bus suddenly broke, so people in the back of the bus couldn't hear anything. But the good outweighed the bad. The AC in the back of the bus wasn't working well, and I was sweating in my sleep 😅. There were so few tourists at Magome-juku~ Not as many as I imagined~ Very few shops were open, and it felt a bit desolate. Inuyama Castle is one of Japan's five great castles, and I'm very happy to have been able to visit it. Although it's not as big as other large castles, its historical significance is very important! Thanks also to the Japanese driver for his hard work that day! (I even bought a heart sutra canvas bag with a cute animal design at Magome-juku! It's super cute! If you like this kind of cute illustration style, I recommend you go to Magome-juku and visit the proprietress!)

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.

We had a very good experience with this tour. It is very nice, and we enjoyed all of the places in the itinerary. Our tour guide was very helpful and kind in assisting my mom, a senior citizen, in every location we visited. We had a very good time with Tomica, our tour guide. It is a recommended tour if you want to see Inuyama Castle and see houses from the edo period.

The tour was very well organized and did not feel very fast paced. All of our Co-travelers came on time and no one is late coming back to the bus. The sceneries were very beautiful and picturesque. My family and I had a great time. If you have seniors or people who have trouble walking or hiking, this tour might not be recommended since the places we went needed to hike. But overall we had a great time. Our tour guide, Li, was very attentive and helpful. She was very good in Chinese and English.

Inuyama Castle was a highlight — the very steep steps were unique but may be challenging for the elderly, and the panoramic view at the top was beautiful. It drizzled at Magome-juku, but the walk to the Ena Gorge Observation Deck still offered lovely views. Unfortunately, it was raining a little heavier by the time we reached Tsumago-juku, so we explored briefly and rested at a café instead. The driver kindly provided umbrellas, and the guide was lovely, speaking both English and Mandarin. Do remember to check the weather forecast, as it can really affect the pace and experience.
