Nagoya – Where Samurai, Spirits, and Streets Collide
Step into the soul of a city where ancient power, sacred rituals, and vibrant local life blend seamlessly. This isn’t just a tour—it’s a journey through layers of Japan’s living heritage.

Nagoya Castle – Walk in the Shadow of Samurai Lords
Begin your journey at Nagoya Castle, once the seat of the mighty Tokugawa clan. Explore the beautifully restored Honmaru Palace, a masterpiece of traditional Japanese architecture and craftsmanship. Pose for photos dressed as a samurai and feel the spirit of Japan’s warrior past come alive.

⛩️ Atsuta Shrine – Sacred Ground of the Divine Sword
Just minutes away, enter a tranquil forest where silence holds centuries of reverence. Atsuta Shrine, home to the legendary Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi, is one of Japan’s Three Sacred Sites. Wander under towering cypress trees, listen to the hush of footsteps on gravel paths, and experience the spiritual calm firsthand. For a unique hands-on experience, try lifting a replica of the shrine’s giant sacred sword—a challenge that connects you physically to Japan’s myths and legends.

️ Osu – Where Tradition Dances with Pop Culture
Finish your journey in Osu, a district bursting with contrast and color.
Temples stand beside manga shops, vintage kimono stores face off with ramen joints, and the scent of takoyaki wafts through lantern-lit arcades. Enjoy local lunch favorites such as gohei mochi, tenmusu, and miso katsu, savoring flavors unique to Nagoya.

✨ This is more than a day in Nagoya.
It’s a chance to touch the sword of legend, walk among samurai, and taste the true spirit of Japan—ancient, sacred, and alive.
