Coisas para fazer em Ise

The itinerary for the Nagoya Full-Day Ise Grand Shrine & Toba Aquarium Tour with Meoto Iwa was well-organized and enjoyable. Unfortunately, it rained quite heavily during our trip, so we decided to head back earlier than scheduled. I originally planned to visit the Pearl Museum, but due to the unpredictable weather, I chose the aquarium instead. Despite the change in plans, I had a great time watching the playful sea creatures and marine shows at the aquarium. Overall, it was still a memorable experience, and I would recommend this tour, especially for those who enjoy nature, culture, and marine life.

I highly recommend this day tour. The guide was excellent; knowing I was traveling alone, they proactively offered to take photos for me multiple times. They were also very professional, writing down all meeting times on a whiteboard. The driver was very polite, always saying "welcome back" every time we got on the bus. The travel time for this tour was very short, so it wasn't tiring at all.

This tour is by GoGoDay. The meeting place is at Ministop Nagoya Station West (Google Map). This is the assembly point for all GoGoDay tours, so you need to ask the guides to join the correct group. On that day, the tour to Ise only had 7 people, so a mini-van was used. The driver also served as the guide. He was a careful driver but did not speak much, except at the last destination (the Wedded Rocks). The first stop, the Ise Grand Shrine compound, is huge, so it's not advisable to cover the entire area. Unfortunately, it was very crowded the day we visited as it was a public holiday. Similarly, Okage Yokocho was jam-packed with people. Given the limited time and long queues, we did not manage to have lunch at any restaurants. Instead, we walked around to shop and had street food. Make sure to try the eel skewers and avoid going on a public holiday. At the second stop, we chose to go to Toba Aquarium, which was excellent and fascinating. It was nice to look at the sea at the Wedded Rocks.

After seeing this new itinerary on the platform, I immediately invited friends to go! Our tour guide, Xiao Xie, was incredibly thoughtful and attentive. When a sudden downpour caught us off guard at noon, we immediately received a message from Xiao Xie saying he was coming to give us umbrellas from the car! He was truly considerate. He also looked after us every step of the way. Highly recommended!

¡Disfruté muchísimo esta experiencia! Me encanta el matcha, así que no había forma de que no me encantara la experiencia de primera mano con mi té favorito. Nuestro guía turístico, Jun, es increíble; se aseguró de que nadie se aburriera con sus chistes y canciones. ¡Acabo de tachar esto de mi lista de deseos!

Este conductor en Nagoya es absolutamente maravilloso. Es amable, educado y muy atento durante todo el viaje. El coche está limpio y siempre llega a tiempo. Conduce de forma suave y constante. Un gran servicio de principio a fin. Recomiendo encarecidamente este servicio de coche a cualquiera que visite Nagoya.

Fiona was excellent; she explained the entire trip in detail. The trip was well-planned, and we managed to complete all three attractions as scheduled.

Although the venue isn't very large, the experience of touching marine animals is excellent. You can touch sea lions, walruses, and seals! When you visit, remember to check the official website for the animal show and touching times so you don't miss any of the interactive sessions.

We are having a good time and expriences with our visit to this sacred shrine and this is especially so as our guide Ms Kim is putting in so much effort with a sense of humor at times, explaining to us in details in English much to our understanding about issues related to this intended tour all throughout.
