Activity itinerary

Nagoya Castle

  • 1h
  • Admission ticket included
Explore Nagoya Castle with a guide born and raised in Nagoya, who will share fascinating stories about samurai history and the castle’s hidden secrets. Inside the Honmaru Palace, once the residence of samurai and lords, you’ll hear stories rarely explained in the exhibits. Your guide will also take you to a hidden photo spot where you can capture beautiful views of the castle without the crowds. If you’re lucky, you may even take a photo with a samurai or shogun character representing Nagoya.

Osu Shopping Street

  • 1h
Explore the lively Osu Shopping District, one of Nagoya’s most vibrant areas. This area blends traditional temples, local culture, and modern street life. Enjoy tasting popular Japanese street foods while walking through the bustling shopping arcade. Your guide will also introduce hidden spots and local favourites loved by Nagoya residents.

Arimatsu no Machinami

  • 1h 30m
  • Admission ticket not included
Arimatsu is a historic post town along the old Tokaido road, known for its beautifully preserved streets that feel like stepping back into the Edo period. As it is still relatively unknown to many travellers, you can enjoy a peaceful walk without the crowds. Here you’ll experience Arimatsu Shibori, a traditional tie-dye craft with over 400 years of history. You’ll also meet the owner of a 250-year-old workshop who will share the storey of the town and the artistry behind this unique textile tradition.

Atsuta Jingu Shrine

  • 40m
Nestled in the heart of the city, Atsuta Shrine offers a peaceful oasis away from the urban bustle, where time seems to slow down. Surrounded by lush greenery, it provides a calm and spiritual atmosphere for visitors. It is also considered one of the most important Shinto shrines in Japan, with a history of over 1,900 years. Walking through its sacred grounds allows you to experience a deeper side of Japanese culture and tradition.
