Full description

This is a 2-hour experience in Nagoya. It is run by Air Choice, Inc., 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 Tour Guide, Visiting Takasago stable, Watch Sumo Wrestler Morning Practice and Taking Photos with Sumo Wrestler. Everything included is listed in full on this page; if something is not on that list, assume it is not in the price.

日本、〒497-0031 愛知県海部郡蟹江町須成門屋敷上１３６４. We need at least one day's notice, and we confirm the date with Air Choice, Inc. before treating your booking as final. If they 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.
