Excursão cultural de dia inteiro ao Castelo de Inuyama, em Nagoya, e a Magome-juku

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.

Our tour guide Jane is a friendly and lovely lady. She provides great historical background for the places we visit. Our group was a big one, and she ensured everyone boarded the bus before we departed to the next destination. The driver is careful and skillful on the road, with safety coming first. The time allocated for each site is adequate. Overall, we had a great day tour.

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.

Overall, this tour takes you to about 4 destinations, and you can sit back and relax on the bus while it takes you there. I joined this trip on a weekday and not a holiday, so traffic was smooth with no delays, which meant the time allotted at each location was just right. Our guide is Xiao Liu; she is very nice, helps us take pictures, helps us order lunch, and even helps serve. She repeats instructions three times so that we clearly understand the meeting time, place, and bus parking. She can speak Japanese, Chinese, and English. For me, her English just needs a little more practice with pronunciation, but it's still very good, and I can understand her. She is very hardworking. The bus driver also drives well; I had a very pleasant ride and could sleep well on the bus. This trip is a good choice if you've never been to these places; it's worth going at least once. It's very interesting.

Amy, our Chinese tour guide, was incredibly kind. I accidentally left my passport at Inuyama Castle, and she helped me call the castle to ask them to hold it for me until the next morning. When I went to pick it up, they were very thorough, even asking me the color of the wallet where I kept my money. Amy also took photos for everyone and always informed us of the meeting time before we disembarked at each stop. The only minor drawback was that the microphone on the bus suddenly broke, so those sitting at the back couldn't hear. However, this was a small issue. The air conditioning at the back of the bus wasn't working well, so I ended up sweating while sleeping 😅. There were very few tourists at Magome-juku – not as many as I expected – and very few shops were open, making it feel a bit desolate. Inuyama Castle is one of Japan's five national treasure castles, and I was very happy to visit it. Although it's not as large as some other major castles, its historical significance is immense! I also want to thank the Japanese driver for his hard work that day! (I even bought a cute animal-themed Heart Sutra canvas bag at Magome-juku! It's super adorable! I highly recommend it to anyone who likes this cute illustration style and visits Magome-juku – be sure to patronize the owner!)

Tomioka est une guide dévouée et chaleureuse. Ce fut un plaisir de discuter avec elle. Le temps alloué à chaque étape était suffisant ; je ne me suis pas senti pressé et j'ai pu profiter du charme des maisons en bois. Nous avons eu la chance d'avoir un temps agréable ; c'était vraiment superbe.

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.

Solo seyahat edenler için Gifu'yu gezmek isteyenler için çok iyi bir tur, ulaşım değiştirme ve farklı yerleri kendi başınıza bulma zahmetine girmeden. Inuyama kalesine ve en üst kattaki seyir galerisine kadar çıkabildik. Tur Rehberimiz Xiao Tu, fotoğraf çekmemize yardımcı olmak için çok nazikti ve turun sonunda bize Nagoya'nın popüler restoranlarından bazılarını bile tavsiye etti.

我们最终参加了一个小型旅行团，这更好一些，因为我们的导游可以花更多时间为我们讲解每个景点的信息，并为我们拍照。犬山城以及马笼宿和妻笼宿都非常值得一去，可以看到江户时代的日本风貌。我们的导游小李很好地管理了我们的小团队，我强烈推荐这次旅行。

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.
