What you’ll do

To see all of Nagoya’s top attractions, you’d need way more than eight hours – but with a local host by your side, you’ll easily check at least 10 of its top spots off your sightseeing list. Take a tranquil stroll through the traditional Shirotori Garden, and join throngs of otaku enthusiasts in Osu, home of the annual World Cosplay Summit (and 700-year-old Osu Kannon Temple). Follow your host through busy central districts, past the iconic TV Tower, trendy boutiques, and the Sky Boat Ferris Wheel – mounted right on the side of Sunshine Sakae Mall! Hungry? Experience authentic Nagoya at a hidden backstreet bar, or in the city’s best-kept secret: the Fushimi underpass, where traditional restaurants serve the most mouthwatering food.

What travelers think of our Japan experiences

Tammy Jun 2025

Our guide, Kenta, is knowledgeable, personable, and professional. He showed us Gion District and Kenninji Temple in a two-hour tour. Because of my bad knees, he met us at our hotel. He grew up in the United States, communicating in English is not a problem at all. Highly recommend him!

Milo was superb! This man sure knows his history, and he is gifted in his ability to share his knowledge in a way that is both captivating and interesting. Even my teenage boys were paying close attention to him, and they never got bored (which says a lot for teenagers on a historical tour). Milo effortlessly guided us throughout Kyoto, and picked the perfect places for us to enjoy. When we return, we will seek him out to be our tour guide every time!

Kenta came to meet us at our hotel, which helped us tremendously. He is friendly, knowledgeable and professional. His English is flawless. We had no problem communicating with him. At the end of the tour, he made sure to drop us off at a bus stop so that we can go back to the hotel.

Stephen was a very accommodating tour guide. Due to the weather we wanted something indoors, instead of local sights. He suggested two different museums, we chose the Toyota museum and spent most of our time there. When we said we wanted to get a few more trinkets for gifts, he suggested a covered shopping district that he knew has a couple of souvenir shops. We thoroughly enjoyed the rainy day.
