The Toyota Museum is fascinating with much history and many interactive and live demonstrations/explanations including a robot playing a violin! So, children also will find much to enjoy.

We had an excellent guide Ms Takako Tsujimoto who is proficient in English and well prepared. She patiently explained everything on every stop we made and made our group (there were 4 of us) enjoyed so much that we managed to complete the 8km without much difficulty.

My your guide, Maki-san, was the whole package; easy to talk to, cheerful, and knowledgeable about the places we visited, and Japanese culture and history with regards to Nagoya Castle, Owari province, Shinto and Buddhism in Japan for example. The pace was great and I felt taken care of, as the guest. It felt like exploring Nagoya with a friend. I highly recommend this tour! Thank you! ☺Written October 31, 2023
