My name is Saki, and I'm a local host in Nagoya. I love that our city has a more relaxed pace compared to other bustling tourist destinations. It makes it a comfortable place to live and explore. I'm also a big fan of our unique food culture, especially our love for miso paste in all sorts of dishes. One of my favorite areas in Nagoya is the Nagono district, next to the castle. It's a historic area over 400 years old, and it feels like you're taking a step back when you explore it. I love discovering new restaurants and hidden gems here. I'm also well-versed in the Nagono district, the Osu shopping arcade, Yagoto, and even Inuyama, which is just a 30-minute train ride away. If you're looking for a local's take on the best off-the-beaten-path places to eat, I'm your girl! Let's discover the delicious and charming side of Nagoya together!

My reviews

    Saki was brilliant, she was engaging, extremely personable, she took us to a small free museum off the beaten track. When we went to Nagoya Castle she explained the history of the Castle & significance of each room. When we also said we wanted to experience a local lunch she was able to locate a small restaurant that was simply perfect. A beautiful young lady, we would definitely book her again if we were in Nagoya or Kyoto.

    We had a great personalised tour with Saki - the palace visit at the castle was amazing and the sushi meal we had was fantastic! Was really interesting to see the shopping district and to learn about some of the history and special features of Nagoya. She also gave sone great tips for things to do during the rest of our trip in Japan. Would highly recommend a tour with Saki to anyone visiting Nagoya

    The tour with Saki, our guide, was very good. She knew how to give us detailed information and good humor to help us get to know the city and Nagoya Castle in the best possible way.
