Celebrating our brother's 70th birthday, we wanted to experience something unique during our trip and Moka-san arranged an tie-dye experience in Arimatsu with Yuko-san as our guide. Yuko-san met us at the port terminal as we arrived with our cruise ship and when we got to Arimatsu, Moka-san met us there. The town of Arimatsu is worth visiting even when it was raining. Beautiful traditional homes and we spent the morning creating our tie-dye scarfs with the help of a local artist. We had delicious udon lunch while we waited for our scarfs to be washed, dried and ironed. Then we stopped by the museum where we saw a couple of women making creative designs by tying different types of knots. Very very time consuming but beautiful work worth seeing. I highly recommend this experience when you visit Nagoya.

Thank you so much for sharing such a heartwarming review, Marjorie-san! We're honored to have been part of your brother's special 70th birthday celebration. Yuko and Moka were delighted to guide you through the charm of Arimatsu, even on a rainy day.
Also we're so happy you had fun with the tie-dye! I’d love it if you keep enjoying and cherishing your beautiful creation!
Thank you, Arigatou!!

Tomoko was a great guide and wonderful host. It felt like being shown around Nagoya by a long time friend. The itinerary was perfectly suited to me and we walked around (bus and train were options but I like walking). We saw the Nagoya Castle and the Palace - we spent the perfect amount of time there. Then lunch on the grounds and a short bus ride to the Toyota Museum of Industry. The museum was very engaging and I learned a lot from the English speaking tour guides there. All around great time that I would not have known about if I had not booked this tour.

It’s wonderful to hear the itinerary suited you perfectly, and you enjoyed the sights and the museum. We hope to welcome you back to Nagoya someday! Thank you, Arigatou :)

Our guide, Tomo, was an outstanding lady, guide, and person. She made our trip to Nagoya so much more enjoyable and personable. We were on a cruise ship, and this was one of our stops. We are very fortunate to have her as a guide. Her knowledge of Nagoya and Japan was amazing and she was most vibrant and a delight to be with. Nagoya was a great city to visit on our cruise tour and I would recommend this city and especially Tomo as a guide to enhance your experience.
Response from Host, Apr 2024

The walkabout tour with some local transport commuting is a unique and excellent way to enjoy Nagoya City and its history with a personal touch. Guide Tomoko was concise, informative, friendly and fun to be with for the whole time. During mealtime, she made sure our food allergies were addressed while providing us many nice recommendations to choose from.
I highly recommend this tour to adults (who prefer walking or have no sweat walking around the city). I also recommend this tour to be of a smaller group to have the best experience and also not to crowd walkways while commuting to different places of interest.
Me and my wife really enjoyed the trip! A huge thanks to Tomoko-San.
Response from Host, Mar 2024

Please come back to Japan and hope to see you someday again!!
Arigatou, thank you so much!!

The trip to Toyota was very nice. The showcase of the progress of Toyota through the years was truly inspiring. Moka, our tour guide was very helpful. She answered all our questions, not only about the trip, but also about all our other concerns.
