Frequently Asked Questions

The price does not cover transportation to and from the venue. Everything it does cover is listed in full on this page, so if something is not on that list, budget for it separately.
Yes, if you tell us when you book rather than on the day. Dashi, the fish stock, is in almost everything, so vegetarian and vegan need to be named specifically and the host will plan a kombu-based version. Halal-certified restaurants exist in the big cities but are fewer, so say so early.
We confirm your booking with the operator before we treat it as final, and we need at least one day's notice. Once it is confirmed you get the meeting point, the time and a contact number for the day. If the operator cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.

Late March to early April for cherry blossom at Nagoya Castle, or mid-to-late November for autumn colour at Korankei Gorge. Summer (July-August) is hot and humid, often mid-30s°C. Full breakdown in our best time to visit Nagoya guide.
The original 1612 castle was destroyed in 1945 bombing raids; the current keep was rebuilt in 1959 in concrete, though the Honmaru Palace was faithfully reconstructed in traditional wood, finishing in 2018. Full history in our Nagoya Castle guide.
The subway (6 lines, from ¥210) covers almost everything, and the Me-guru sightseeing bus loops between the castle, museums and Atsuta Shrine. See getting around Nagoya.
Hitsumabushi (grilled eel, eaten three ways), tebasaki (twice-fried chicken wings, a Nagoya invention), and miso katsu — all built around haccho miso, a dark fermented red miso. See the Nagoya food guide.
Inuyama Castle (~30 min, one of Japan's 12 original wooden keeps) is the closest; Tokoname pottery town and the Magome-juku to Tsumago-juku Nakasendo walk are also easy half-days. Honest rankings in our Nagoya day trips guide.
Two days works well: one for the city (castle, Osu, Sakae), one for a day trip. Our Nagoya 2-day itinerary breaks it down hour by hour.
