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.

Traveler Reviews
Thomas, the waiter inside the boat, was amazing. Such good attention to detail, and his English was amazing. Our tour guide was very good too, I forgot his name, so sorry, but he was very good!!
We had an amazing time. Definitely recommend them.
We loved every minute of our Ha Long trip, it was awesome! Big thanks to the cruise staff and the sweet waitress! No complaints at all, but they really should get Starlink for easier and faster internet. that it!
The cruise is perfect, and the staff—especially Daria—is very friendly. Thank you so much! A minor point to correct is that the water is paid.
All the staff was always smiling and super attentive, Daria was the one assigned to me at the boat and she was lovely. Allen was my all day guide and he was very nice and his English very good. Excellent trip and experience in general.
