Nagoya, a city overshadowed by glitzy Tokyo and lively(noisy) Osaka. Nagoya has always been the quiet, responsible sibling of the three. Nagoya is the city where samurai spirit meets industrial genius. It’s the hometown of three of Japan’s greatest unifiers—Oda Nobunaga, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and Tokugawa Ieyasu. But that’s not all—Nagoya is also the birthplace of Toyota., Nagoya is like a living time machine with great food (hello, miso katsu and hitsumabushi eel). The roads are wide, the people friendly, and everything relatively cheap. It might be Japan’s underdog city, but that’s exactly what makes it cool.

(Subject to Option Inclusions)Itinerary
Nagoya Castle
Nagoya Castle is like a samurai fortress with bling—famous for its golden shachihoko (mythical tiger-carp) rooftop ornaments! Built by Tokugawa Ieyasu in 1612, it’s a majestic mix of power and polish, surrounded by cherry blossoms in spring and legends all year round. Perfect spot to time-travel and snap some epic pics!
Tokugawa Garden
Samurai-Style Zen: Built on the former residence of the Owari Tokugawa clan (a powerful branch of the Tokugawa family), this garden was basically the shogun's chill-out zone. Turtle Island: The central pond features a small island shaped like a turtle—symbolizing longevity and good fortune. ⛩️ Shogun’s Instagram: Designed in a classic Japanese stroll-garden style, it’s made for wandering and admiring—like an Edo-period Instagram feed! Koi VIPs: The pond is full of fat, happy koi fish that are treated like royalty. Bring some fish food—they love the attention! Seasonal Swag: Cherry blossoms in spring, fiery momiji (maple leaves) in autumn—every season transforms the garden into a different masterpiece. Next Door Time Machine: Right next to the garden is the Tokugawa Art Museum, home to samurai armor, swords, and treasures from Japan's feudal glory days. Great for a peaceful stroll, a dose of history, or pretending you're in a period drama
Osu Shopping Street
verything, Everywhere, All at Once: From vintage kimono shops to the latest tech gadgets, Osu is a wild mix of old-school Japan and modern pop culture—like Harajuku meets Akihabara! Otaku Heaven: Osu is a secret paradise for anime fans, gamers, and collectors—expect retro game shops, cosplay stores, and rare figurines around every corner. Street Food Galore: Hungry? Grab local bites like karaage (fried chicken), melon pan, or even a matcha latte from a vending machine. It’s a snack-lover's dream. Hidden Temple Vibes: Right in the middle of the hustle, you’ll find Osu Kannon Temple—a peaceful spiritual escape surrounded by fortune-telling booths and pigeon flocks. Lost? That’s the Point!: With over 1,200 shops and twisting alleys, Osu is meant for getting “pleasantly lost.” You’ll always stumble onto something cool. Whether you're hunting for samurai swords or bubble tea, Osu’s got a surprise waiting.
