Tatsuya Ito

I’m Tatsuya Ito, a National licensed guide-interpreter. I have been guiding at Nagoya castle since 2017 and hope to show many people the charms of Aichi Prefecture. Aichi is the industrial center of Japan with the Toyota motors company, many factories, and company headquarters. And Nagoya has an original cuisine based on Aichi’s fermented foods.
