Descrizione
Discover Monet's Pond, Mino Old Town, and two sacred shrines on a day trip from Nagoya.
Start your day with a pickup from Nagoya station. Head to Monet's Pond, a magical natural site that was once a simple reservoir transformed by nature and careful maintenance. Admire floating water lilies, colorful koi fish swimming beneath crystal-clear waters, and lush greenery reflecting on the surface – a scene straight out of Monet's masterpieces.
Next, explore Mino Old Town, a beautifully preserved Edo-period merchant town. Walk along streets lined with traditional udatsu buildings – distinctive raised roof walls that symbolized the wealth and status of local paper merchants. Learn about Mino Washi Paper, a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage crafted from mulberry bark and pure water from the Nagara and Itatori rivers for over 1,300 years. Enjoy free time for lunch (at your own expense) and browsing local craft shops.
Continue to Tagata Shrine, a 1,500-year-old Shinto shrine in Komaki City, famous for its unique fertility symbolism. Discover the shrine's deep cultural and mythological significance in Japanese traditions of life and renewal.
Finally, visit Mama Kannon Temple, a 15th-century Pure Land Buddhist temple, part of the Owari Thirty-Three Kannon Pilgrimage. Learn about its special role as a place of prayer for women's health, breastfeeding, childrearing, and safe childbirth. See the distinctive breast-shaped votive plaques (ema) and amulets offered by worshippers.
After a day of exploration, return to Nagoya with drop-off at your hotel.
