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.

Reviews

    Cheata was the perfect guide. She customised the itinerary to suit my preferences and I saw some amazing sites, including ones I wouldn't have come across myself. She was also kind enough to work a little later to make sure I saw something I wanted to see. As a solo traveller, I felt like I was exploring Tokyo with a friend. She also gave me recommendations for the rest of my stay. Can't recommend this experience enough!

    We had a lovely day with Nik - she meet us on time and was patient when we needed a break. She is a well of knowledge and explained everything very clearly. We loved the places she took us to and especially the market she helped with pricing negotiations. I would fully recommend Nik to anyone who is looking for a fun time experience in Hong Kong. Thanks Nik for making a day special
