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.

Traveler Reviews
The activity was perfect. We started by going to the Cat Ba national park jungle in Viet Hai. Our Guide, Phuc, was very kind and funny but also took care of us. He noticed when I started overheating and we stopped the hike, gave me electrolytes and calculated my blood pressure. He was always pointing out what we need to be careful of things like loose rocks. He is very knowledgable of the area and informed us for the wildlife and the history of the place. I could not recommend this activity more, it was the best part of our trip so far! :)
