What travelers think of this experience
What you’ll do
Get a personalized introduction to Nagoya (and plenty of insider tips and tricks) from your sensei – sorry, knowledgeable local insider. Who needs a map when your host can point out each district from Japan's highest open-air observation deck, the Midland Square skyscraper?
Soak up the spirit of ancient Japan at 700-year-old Osu Kannon Temple, which happens to be right in the middle of the city's famous otaku hub - the Osu neighborhood - packed with stores selling fantastic costumes and gaming goods. And when you're comfortably seated in a backstreet izakaya, ask your host any questions you have between bites of grilled Nagoya cochin, the local specialty chicken!
