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!
