Good fun!

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 ✌🏻

It’s a very interesting...

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.

You can learn a lot of about Nagoya Castle.

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.
