Description
Explore Nagoya’s automotive industry and rich history in one day with a friendly local guide.
Experience the heart of Nagoya on this full-day guided tour, combining the city’s industrial innovation, historical treasures, and vibrant culture.
Begin your day at Nagoya Station or Sakae Station, where your friendly local guide will lead you to the Toyota Commemorative Museum of Industry and Technology. Here, explore Japan’s industrial history through Toyota’s remarkable evolution from textile machinery to automobiles. Interactive exhibits and live demonstrations make the innovations in engineering and manufacturing come alive, offering a hands-on insight into the ingenuity that shaped modern Japan.
After a short train ride, visit Nagoya Castle, an iconic symbol of the city. Admire its golden shachihoko roof ornaments and step inside to learn about samurai history. Originally built over 400 years ago, the castle was destroyed in WWII and later reconstructed, with its grounds now featuring beautiful gardens and informative exhibits. Walking through the castle, you can feel the grandeur and legacy of feudal Japan.
Next, take a bus to Tokugawa Garden, a serene traditional Japanese garden once belonging to the Tokugawa family. Stroll along scenic paths, admire seasonal flowers, and enjoy the peaceful pond reflecting classic Edo-period landscaping. This tranquil setting offers a perfect contrast to the city’s bustling energy.
Conclude your tour at Osu Shopping District, one of Nagoya’s liveliest areas. Browse over 1,200 shops offering everything from traditional crafts to modern pop culture, and don’t miss the giant maneki-neko welcoming visitors at the entrance. Here, you can enjoy local street food, shop for souvenirs, and experience the vibrant atmosphere of contemporary Nagoya.
Return to Nagoya or Sakae Station, enriched by a day full of history, innovation, and culture. This tour offers a unique opportunity to discover both the traditional and modern sides of the city, guided by a friendly local who brings Nagoya’s stories to life.
