Mga bagay na dapat gawin sa Nagoya Station

Magical Kamikochi experience (and lots of monkeys!) despite the weather. I joined the Kamikochi 1-day tour yesterday, and even though the weather wasn’t ideal, I had a truly amazing experience! We hiked the trail from Taisho Pond to Kappa Bridge, and the scenery was absolutely stunning. A wonderful highlight was seeing a lot of wild monkeys passing right by us along the way: A huge thank you to our tour guide, Mr. Gu Rung, who was incredibly kind, approachable, and spoke excellent, easy-to-understand English. Our bus driver also deserves special praise-he was very patient and understanding with group members who ran late, keeping the trip stress-free. The combination of beautiful nature, wildlife, and great hospitality made this an unforgettable day. I would absolutely love to book another tour with this company in the future!

Highly recommend this tour. We went in summer but it was still beautiful. Less time at the first stop with the Koi pond and more time at the lunch and shopping street would have been better. By the time we chose a lunch spot, we didn’t have much time to look in the stores. Overall an enjoyable experience with a guide who spoke 3 languages.

Isang bird's eye view ng Nagoya, lalo na ang lugar sa paligid ng Nagoya Station at maging ang Nagoya Castle. Sa mga araw na maganda ang visibility, makikita mo ang isa o ilang bundok. Nakikita ko ang Mt. Ibuki tuwing paglubog ng araw. Bumisita sa araw ng linggo para sa mas murang entry. Madali ang pagkuha ng tiket dahil handang tumulong ang mga staff. Depende sa iyong bilis at interes, maaari kang magtagal ng 10 minuto o hanggang 2 oras dito. May mga upuan sa paligid, mga vending machine ng inumin at ito ay semi-outdoor. Ang hindi ko lang gusto ay ang usok at amoy ng bbq mula sa open air restaurant.

Our experience with VASARA Kimono Rental in Nagoya was exceptional. While this location had fewer yukata choices than I expected, the staff more than made up for it with their kindness, enthusiasm, and genuine care. I hoped to wear a red yukata to match my wife’s, but none were available. The staff went above and beyond, searching through unopened boxes until they found a maroon yukata with dragon designs. They paired it with a blue obi featuring a water pattern. They also dressed my wife and daughter beautifully, and transformed my son into a young samurai. Seeing our whole family dressed together was a highlight of our trip. Walking through Nagoya and visiting Nagoya Castle in yukata felt immersive and special. We received many friendly compliments and interactions along the way. The VASARA team didn’t just rent us clothing, they created a wonderful family memory we will cherish for years. Minasama, taihen osewa ni narimashita. Arigatō gozaimashita. Dōzo ogenki de.

Dahil ang mga lokasyong ito ay mahigit dalawang oras mula sa Nagoya kung magmamaneho, talagang sulit na sumama sa isang lokal na tour. Napakahusay ng gabay—responsable, organisado, at nagbigay ng sapat na libreng oras, na higit pa sa sapat para sa pagbisita. Pinakagusto ko ang unang hintuan, sulit na sulit ang biyahe. Ang meeting point na 'Silver Clock' ay napakadaling hanapin, at ang mga mapa at suhestiyon na ibinigay ng gabay ay detalyado at madaling sundin. Nag-set up din sila ng mga WhatsApp at WeChat group upang matiyak ang tuluy-tuloy na komunikasyon sa buong araw.

Sa pangkalahatan, napakaganda ng lahat. Nakapunta kami sa lahat ng lugar na gusto/kailangan naming puntahan at ang mga instruksyon ay naghatid sa akin kung saan ko kailangang pumunta. Sana lang ay mas detalyado ang ilang punto (tulad ng pagpunta sa information desk para kunin ang mga tiket sa halip na "B1 ng Kitte" lang, o mas magandang gabay para makapunta sa hintuan ng bus). Kung hindi, napakalaking tulong na nakasama ang lahat sa isa lalo na kung hindi ako makabili ng tiket nang direkta mula sa website.

Magaling na tour na may magandang takbo, ang 5 oras na paglilibot sa Ghibli Park ay higit pa sa sapat upang galugarin ang mga dapat makitang tanawin. Sayang at sold out ang entry ticket para sa Howl's moving castle sa araw ng pagbisita, ngunit magandang karanasan pa rin ito upang maranasan ang mundo ng Studio Ghibli. Maliit na bayad lamang ang kailangan para makapasok sa Witches' house at iba pa, ngunit sulit ito kung nais mong makita ang bahay sa personal. May maliit na teatro ang grand warehouse at napakaganda ng 20 minutong palabas. Ang aming Gabay na si Satomi ay magiliw at napakaasikaso, ipinaliwanag niya ang bawat mahahalagang punto para sa aming tour. Gayundin, ang pagiging maagap ay napakahalaga sa tour na ito, kung mapalampas mo ang oras ng pagkikita, iiwan ka ng grupo

Our journey today (Oct 07) along the Nakasendo trail from Tsumagojuku to Magomejuku was an unforgettable, bucket-list experience that made our 22,000 steps entirely worthwhile. Our exceptional guide, Eric, brought the ancient path to life with his thorough and fascinating insights into the region's rich history. Meanwhile, our wonderful driver, Mr. Ozaki, ensured we felt completely comfortable and secure throughout our travels. Walking this historic route felt like stepping back in time amidst stunning Japanese countryside scenery. I cannot recommend this incredible tour enough to anyone visiting the area! Thank you to Eric, Mr. Ozaki, and Snow Monkey Resorts!

We booked for a Tuesday tour but was requested to move to a Wednesday tour so we had to move things around. It was okay though because the tour was worth it. Size of the group was small so no time was wasted on waiting on other tour participants. Vehicle used was very clean and comfortable for the long drive to and from Nagoya. Our tour guide, Eiichi, was very nice and accommodating to all of us and was able to communicate with everyone well. As a local, he was able to answer our questions about Nagoya, Takayama, and Shirakawa-go easily. He also gave great recommendations about what food to try. We were able to follow the schedule to the dot and got back in Nagoya in time for our evening plans.
