Full Description
This private custom tour is ideal for travelers who want to see the authentic side of Nagoya—from the historic heart to its vibrant neighborhoods. With a passionate local guide, you can explore everything from ancient shrines and samurai castles to hidden backstreets and contemporary attractions.
Start your journey at Nagoya Castle, famous for its golden shachihoko ornaments and deep samurai roots. Learn about the Owari Tokugawa clan and their role in Japan’s feudal history. Then, perhaps head to the Tokugawa Art Museum nearby, home to centuries-old samurai armor, swords, and family heirlooms.
For spiritual seekers, visit the tranquil Atsuta Jingu Shrine, which houses one of Japan’s three sacred imperial treasures. Or explore lesser-known temples and shrines like Toganji, featuring a rare green Buddha statue.
If you’re interested in technology or transportation, visit the SCMAGLEV and Railway Park, which features actual Shinkansen trains and simulators, or the Toyota Commemorative Museum, showcasing Japan’s post-war industrial rise.
Love Japanese pop culture? Wander through Osu Shopping Street, Nagoya’s quirky and colorful otaku hub filled with manga shops, retro arcades, and street food stalls. If visiting in summer, you might catch local cosplay parades or cultural festivals.
For a taste of local flavors, stop for miso katsu (pork cutlet with red miso sauce), hitsumabushi (grilled eel over rice), or Nagoya-style tebasaki (spicy fried chicken wings). Your guide can recommend hidden gems that only locals know.
As this is a personalized tour, the itinerary is entirely flexible. You can choose to focus on historical sites, local food, cultural experiences, or a bit of everything. Your guide will contact you prior to the tour to help build a custom plan.

Reviews
This was a wonderful way to see Nagoya. Stephen was a fantastic guide. He is responsive and knowledgeable. We thoroughly enjoyed our afternoon with him.
She was very accommodating, excellent communication and flexible.
Having Yoshi-san for a walk around the city was a great decision! He talked about many of the little snippets of info from a local’s perspective. Thank you!!
