Overview

Spend just one day to have an overview of Japanese history from its inception to the modern times as you enjoy landmark visits with a local expert guide.

We will visit three major landmarks where you can see and (sometimes) touch monuments and exhibits closely related to this tour’s theme of history overview. As we visit each landmark, your guide will relate the history chronologically from the nation’s inception, ancient times, ruling by samurai, through to the modern times.
Specifically, we will visit three landmarks:
1) Atsuta Shrine
Explore the nation’s origin and learn about major historical figures.
2) Nagoya Castle
The guide will relate the history focusing on the period of warring states and transition to unification in early 17th century.
3) Toyota Commemorative Museum of Industry and Technology
The guide will demystify how Toyota could rise from scratch. It gives a clue to understanding the secret of Japan’s success in rapid industrialisation.

Activity itinerary

Atsuta Jingu Shrine

  • 1h 30m
  • Admission ticket not included
Few landmarks in Japan are better suited to narrate Japan’s inception than this 1900-year-old shrine. A nation’s origin is shrouded in myths most of the time. So is Japan’s inception. While the main focus at this landmark is the origin of the nation, the guide will discuss overall flow of the history as we look at monuments here related to major historical figures.

Nagoya Castle

  • 2h 30m
  • Admission ticket included
During the chaos of warring states in the 16th century, three feudal lords emerged victorious one after another. Interestingly, all three of them were from Nagoya or its vicinity. The last one became the founder of the Tokugawa Shogunate which ruled Japan for almost three centuries until late 19th century. Nagoya Castle symbolises the consummation of power gripping by the Tokugawa clan. The guide will relate the history focusing on the period of warring states and transition to unification in early 17th century.

Toyota Commemorative Museum of Industry and Technology

  • 2h
  • Admission ticket not included
After the collapse of the last Shogunate, the new government’s top priority was modernization and industrialisation. The private sector also played a significant role. Toyota’s rise from scratch offers a clue to understanding the secret of Japan’s success in rapid industrialisation. The guide will demystify how Toyota could establish its own footing at the very early stage.
