Got to see Nagoya Castle and Toyota Museum. Got to go at your own pace. No hurry. The Toyota museum was the most interesting to me.

5A perfect day
What a fantastic way to see Nagoya. Kumi met us at our hotel and showed us the beautiful sites. Her English was excellent and she was knowledgeable and engaging. She even adapted our tour to see the Toyota Museum. I would highly recommend this tour and tour guide.
5A day in the port.
We had a fabulous time with our guide Kana. She was early to arrive and was exactly where she said to be. She looked after us like we were family and was very knowledgeable. My husband and son love cars and I think she also learned all about their cars. The places we went were very. Use because of the holiday so she stood in line while we wandered around and texted us when she was at the front. She is definitely the best tour guide we have ever had. Thank you Brenda Glen and Garret Boyd

About Nagoya
Nagoya is a big industrial city in central Japan, with a castle topped by golden ornaments, an ancient shrine and a food culture all its own.
Nagoya is one of Japan's biggest cities, set on a broad plain at the head of Ise Bay and long a centre of the country's car and machinery industries. Its castle, built by the Tokugawa in the early 1600s, is topped by a pair of golden shachihoko, mythical fish with tigers' heads, and the keep was rebuilt after the war with a restored palace beside it. Atsuta Shrine, among the most venerated in Japan, houses a sacred sword.
