Things to do in Aichi

We had a toddler, so we chose rides that a toddler could do with us, like Carousel, airplanes, and submarine. We got two sets of skip passes - well worth it with a restless toddler. Ninjago show was in Japanese, so we didn’t understand what they said, but kids enjoyed just watching. Be sure to do online queuing/booking for restaurant Irodori upon entering the park. We booked for 3:30pm for late lunch/tea, which turned out perfect: it was half empty, and kids got to play in the LEGO pits without the crowds. We bought the Tranquil Garden LEGO set at the Big Shop for around Y14000… then the next day we saw the same set at Bic Camera for Y9000. Lesson learned: check the local department stores first!

The private is actually the same if you buy it in person but the line was really long when we got there so it was definitely a good choice to buy it off Klook. The aquarium was so cute they had an orca, belugas and a dolphin show. Should take around 2-3 hrs to see everything and they had restaurants nearby where you could eat. Great place to visit if you have children. When we visited I think it was. japanese holiday and there were a lot of people but never as many as the people in Tokyo or Osaka. I’d still recommend this as the view at the port was also amazing. There’s also a nearby theme park that you can visit

Our tour guide Xi was nice, organised and gave good tips during the tour of where to go and what to try. His recommendations were spot on especially the egg pudding in Shiragawa. Get in early to get the original pudding to avoid disappointment. We managed to still get the coffee and custard and they were delicious! It snowed and was magical. Don't forget to wear appropriate footwear as sleet and water can get into your sneakers, otherwise we had the best day!

This was an unforgettable tour to Shirakawa Go. The tour guide changed the itinerary to visit Shirakawa Go first then went to Hida Takayama; which worked better because Shirakawa Go was so beautiful in the morning when the sun was out. This tour was on late December and the snow just started to build up, but melted eventually as it was not cold enough. Beware! Lots of black ice, wear non slippery base shoes. The tour guide added extra hours to Shirakawa Go which was great that we had time to enjoy some local snacks while in the area. Visit to Hida Takayama was in late afternoon, lots of restaurants have closed by 2:30 pm so we could only have light lunches like hida beef sushi and yakitori. But the town itself is so beautiful. We enjoy the atmosphere. The tour guide was so lovely, she was knowledgable and made lots of suggestions of what places to visit and to eat in. She also walks with us to make sure we can get in and out the places correctly. We highly recommend this tour. The timing is correct, not too rush. Thank you to both the tour leader and the driver! You did a great job!

Love the trip experience. We had enough time to explore and visits the 2 places on the tour. we and the kids had fun, our tour guide was also very informative and making sure everyone was on time and know where we are going..!

The places were beautiful and the lunch was super nice! Our guide David/Dai also was organized and created a group chat where he can communicate with the members of the group tour so we were able to manage our time well! The bus driver assigned that day was very skilled too! We were always right on schedule because of him. In sum, this trip was amazing! PS. I didn’t expect Takayama to be that beautiful. It was definitely the vibe!

My mom and I joined this tour on a rainy day, which made the temperature extra cold, but it was still an overall good experience. Shirakawa-go (the UNESCO site) was still ok to explore and, since I'm from a tropical/no-snow country, I got to "enjoy" little puddles of snow around the place. Our tour guide, Lily, was accommodating and had clear instructions, so the whole trip felt smooth and hassle-free. Also, please do try the award-winning pudding shop Shirakawago Purin No Le while you’re there. I got the matcha and chocolate flavors, and both were so good. Overall, a great day trip and worth it (despite the rainy weather).

Nagoya Castle is definitely a must-see landmark when visiting Nagoya, and it's especially beautiful in winter! I just got back from Nagoya and I really want to highly recommend Nagoya Castle! The golden orca shimmers and shines, it's so dreamy. There were so many Japanese couples wearing kimonos taking pictures, the atmosphere was romantically explosive!

I really enjoyed the tour! Even though it was in English, our guide Sai Chan told me in Japanese where I could go! I was satisfied :) Lots of impressions and it was incredibly beautiful! I also really liked the meat sushi, it just melted in my mouth) ❤️🥰
