Activity itinerary

  • 1h
  • Admission ticket included
Explore Nagoya Castle with a guide born and raised in Nagoya, who will share fascinating stories about samurai history and the castle’s hidden secrets. Inside the Honmaru Palace, once the residence of samurai and lords, you’ll hear stories rarely explained in the exhibits. Your guide will also take you to a hidden photo spot where you can capture beautiful views of the castle without the crowds. If you’re lucky, you may even take a photo with a samurai or shogun character representing Nagoya.

Osu Shopping Street

Arimatsu no Machinami

Arimatsu is a historic post town along the old Tokaido road, known for its beautifully preserved streets that feel like stepping back into the Edo period. As it is still relatively unknown to many travellers, you can enjoy a peaceful walk without the crowds. Here you’ll experience Arimatsu Shibori, a traditional tie-dye craft with over 400 years of history. You’ll also meet the owner of a 250-year-old workshop who will share the storey of the town and the artistry behind this unique textile tradition.

Nestled in the heart of the city, Atsuta Shrine offers a peaceful oasis away from the urban bustle, where time seems to slow down.
