Private Tour-Nagoya sightseeing centred on “Samurai Culture”!

①Nagoya Castle Main gate
Upon entering through the gate now known as the main gate of Nagoya Castle—built by imperial decree during the Tenka Fushin construction project ordered by Lord Tokugawa Ieyasu, the first shogun of the Edo shogunate—one can grasp its grandeur as clearly as if holding it in one's hand.

②Nagoya Castle Honmaru palace
A palace serving as both the administrative headquarters and residence for successive lords of the Owari Tokugawa clan, and as lodgings for Tokugawa shoguns visiting Kyoto. With access to the keep currently restricted, it stands alongside the Castle Treasure Museum as one of the few accessible spots where one can experience the atmosphere of the Edo period.

③Nagoya Castle Tenshukaku
The castle tower, which had been designated a National Treasure alongside the Honmaru Palace until it was destroyed in the war, was rebuilt after the war using reinforced concrete. Together with its golden shachi, it stands as a symbol representing Nagoya.

This site was the residence of the Owari Tokugawa feudal lord and its associated daimyō garden, but excavation work is currently underway prior to restoration.

A destination packed with national treasures and important cultural properties, including swords, armour and ukiyo-e prints. Beyond the artworks, it features interactive zones and areas dedicated to archery and firearms, allowing visitors to immerse themselves fully in the world of the Sengoku period.

Osu Kannon, standing west of Osu in Nagoya's downtown area, has long been a cherished place of relaxation for the city's residents.

The bustling Osu Shopping Street, thriving as the gateway town to Osu Kannon Temple, is the liveliest shopping district in Nagoya. Let us explore the secret behind this town's widespread appeal, cherished by young and old alike, and even by foreign visitors.
