This tour was a nice way to spend the day. The guide was friendly and spoke clear English, explaining the history of Nagoya Castle well, even with some restoration going on. Arimatsu’s tie-dyeing museum was charming, and I enjoyed the traditional vibe. The car was comfy, and we got back to the ship on time. Thank you!
