Hi there, I'm Noel, your friendly and open-minded local host in Nagoya. With my mature and curious personality, I love exploring the city's hidden gems, especially temples and traditional art areas, with my camera in hand. I'm an expert in the public transport system and walking routes, and I know the neighborhoods of Osu, Nagoya Castle, and Tokoname like the back of my hand. I enjoy shopping at second-hand shops, where I often find treasures, and I'd be happy to introduce you to the variety of reasonably priced places to eat in Nagoya. As a long-time resident, I have many contacts that could help me fulfill your wishes, whether it's trying a tea ceremony, attempting to make pottery or ikebana, or sampling delicious local cuisine like okanami-yaki, yakitori, kaiten sushi, or miso-katsu. Let's explore Nagoya together!

The tour was a great way to see a part of Japan that is not often seen by those who are visiting the country for tourism. Noel shared really unique details about how the country, and Nagoya, has changed through the last several decades. He also was very knowledgeable about some of the religious history of the region and took you to some very interesting & beautiful local temples and shrines. This is a great tour if you’re interested in history.
