Overview

Join this unforgettable tour that takes you to Japan's oldest castle with a private experienced guide and minivan. Relax and enjoy the view while I take you from your place of departure to the locations and back. I will answer any questions you have about Japan and life in Japan, through the eyes of an unbiased “Japan lifer”. Wear a kimono and wonder through charming streets while savouring local delicacies. Perhaps take a ride in a traditional rickshaw and have matcha green tea in a traditional Japanese garden. Throughout the experience, I will capture your memories with video and photos. Finally, we’ll visit the unique Penis Shrine, where you can pray for a bountiful harvest, the flourishing of nature(fertility), and prosperous descendants or just take some awesome pics. On the way back I can stop at a local supermarket or any shop you want for you to stock up on necessities, before returning you to your hotel/boat/private plane

Sanko Inari Shrine

45m

First stop: Located at the base of Inuyama Castle, Sanko Inari Shrine boasts a rich and storied history. Originally known as “Sankojisan,” the shrine has long been held in high esteem by local and distant practitioners alike. Every year on July 22, a traditional festival draws families to the shrine after dark, carrying small red paper “chochin” lanterns hanging from bamboo branches. On this day, large Makiwara boats adorned with numerous paper lanterns in a dome shape float down the Kiso River, accompanied by traditional music. The reflection of the swaying lanterns on the water's surface is particularly enchanting, making this summer tradition a beloved event in Aichi.

Inuyama Castle

2h
Admission ticket included

Visit Japan's oldest mountain castle located in Inuyama. Inuyama Castle, built in 1537 by Oda Nobuyasu—the uncle of the renowned warlord Oda Nobunaga—offers a unique glimpse into Japan's rich history. The castle is surrounded by three distinctive shrines, making it an ideal destination to immerse yourself in Japanese culture.

Inuyama Jokamachi

45m
Admission ticket not included

Lunch, the third most important meal of the day: A little chill time, we can have lunch at a nearby restaurant, or we can sit somewhere and have a lunch box. We can also stroll around in our next location and eat while we walk.

Inuyama Jokamachi

1h

A charming street leading to the castle, Joka Machi, which means "castle town," boasts a unique atmosphere with quaint shops, traditional houses, and delightful eateries. You can wear a kimono or yukata as you explore the town, return to the castle for stunning photos.

Urakuen Garden

1h
Admission ticket included

enjoy a cup of green tea with wagashi (traditional japanese sweets)in a traditional setting in the Urakuen garden. This garden was created for a single purpose: to serve as the setting for Jo-an, a priceless seventeenth-century tea house. Jo-an is a masterwork of tea house architecture and one of only three tea houses recognised as National Treasures.

Tagata Jinja

40m

A mere 30 minutes away from Inuyama, is the little city of Komaki. Komaki is home to the yearly Tagata Jinja Shrine's Honen Festival, one of the rarest festivals in Japan as they carry around huge wooden carved penis and deliver it to this shrine. This shrine is full of phallus symbols, whether of stone or wood and comes in all sizes. It's a small shrine, but worth a visit.
