Full description

This is a experience from Nagoya, built around Public transport, Magomejuku and Tsumago-juku. It is run by Mini Mini Trip, an operator we book with directly rather than through a reseller, which is why we can hold your place with them before we treat your booking as final.

Nagoya is Japan's fourth city and the gateway to the Ghibli Park at Nagakute, opened in 2022 with timed tickets that sell out weeks ahead, to Nagashima Spa Land and its rollercoasters, and to Inuyama, whose castle is one of the twelve original keeps. Nagoya Castle's golden dolphins and the Toyota Commemorative Museum are the city's own sights, and hitsumabushi grilled eel and miso katsu are its food. The Ise Grand Shrine, Shinto's most sacred site, rebuilt every twenty years, is 90 minutes south.

The price covers Public Transportation fares, Tour guide, Entrance fee to Wakihonjin Okuya and Photography assistance at scenic spots. It does not cover Transportation to/from meeting point, Meals and beverages, Personal expenses and souvenirs and Travel insurance, so budget for those separately. Everything included is listed in full on this page; if something is not on that list, assume it is not in the price.

名古屋市名古屋駅観光案内所. We need at least one day's notice, and we confirm the date with Mini Mini Trip before treating your booking as final. If they cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.

An amazing chance to see more of Japan other than cities. My guide Yukie was very thoughfull, had everything planned out wonderfully and showed me a lot of great spots along the hiking route. If you are in the area don't miss out on this opportunity! Highly recommended!

We spent a great day walking the nakasendo trail, Yossi (the tour guide) explained a lot about samurai and showed us a shrine, some waterfalls, old samurai hotels and museums in Tsumago. The hike was around 8km which was perfect for a daytrip in the nature. Everything was very well organized. We met the guide at Nagoya Station and he handled all the tickets and busses/trains. It was en extremely hot day and Yossi kindly brought cooling towels and electrolyte tablets. For lunch, we got to try some yummy handmade soba noodles in a local resturant. Thank you so much for the tour!

I had an incredible day in the company of Kaide who was very accommodating and knowledgeable of the history of the region. The views were breathtaking and people along the way were very kind and lovely. I highly recommend.

Vandre ruten var ikke noget specielt. Det meste af dagen (10 timer ikke 7 timer) brugte vi på transport. Start og slut byen var fine

The price does not cover transportation to/from meeting point, meals and beverages, personal expenses and souvenirs and travel insurance. Everything it does cover is listed in full on this page, so if something is not on that list, budget for it separately.
The listing gives the distance and the terrain; most walking tours are flat and paced for average fitness, and cycling tours use river paths and back streets with e-bikes available on request. Summer in the cities is hot and humid from July to September, so early starts and water matter more than fitness.
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.
