Thank you for the wonderful tour. I had a great time!! I learned a lot Nagoya, Thanks, Taka! ガイドをお願いして良かったです。とっても勉強のなりました。
Our guide was very friendly and informative.
I had a tour with Honami and had a great time, she was very knowledgeable about the castle history which was great because I wanted to learn more about Tokugawa. Would recommend booking even if you speak Japanese or have been to Japan before, Honami knows all the best photo spots ✌🏻
good with clear guide and good vibe
Yuko was such a great guide. Explained everything very well and brought us all around Nagoya castle. The palace was my favorite. Thank you very much! Thank Yo
It’s a very interesting tour, plenty of history and photo opportunities. Not too drawn out, just enough time needed and walking at a leisurely pace. Our tour guide “Honimi” was amazing!! Very friendly and knowledgeable couldn’t have been more helpful with everything.
I had a great time with a guide and other tourists. If I didn't join this tour, I have missed so much information about the castle and backgrounds of this historical establishment.
Nice day exploring the castle and more. The tour guide was knowledgeable and easy to talk to. I would recommend everyone for this tour.

The Tour was very interesting , Nagoya Castle really deserves a visit and Toshi was a great Guide . Unfortunately not all the customers know how to travel , and know that if you book a tour you should arrive before the tour starts , and no 33 minutes later . If we had started on time , there wouldn’t have been so much crowd , and lines !
