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 ✌🏻

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.

Toshi was a very patient and professional guide ! - 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 !

Great tour and guide - My guide Shu was very friendly and warm. He guided me around the castle and engaged me in conversation. He was willing to discuss many topics about Japanese culture. Highly recommended.
