Immerse yourself in the beauty of Nagoya during springtime with a captivating tour showcasing the city’s iconic cherry blossoms. Begin your journey at Nagoya Castle, the pride of the Nagoya’s shogun, the Tokugawa Samurai clan. Wander through the majestic castle grounds adorned with delicate pink sakura blooms, and marvel at the recently reconstructed Honmaru palace.

After a delightful lunch highlighting seasonal spring ingredients, dive into Samurai culture at the Tokugawa Art Museum, where treasures like tea ceremony utensils that the shogun used and Noh theater masks await. Your journey concludes at the breathtaking Tokugawa Gardens, where cherry blossoms frame serene ponds and pathways, creating a tranquil and unforgettable spring landscape.

Please note that the timing of cherry blossoms at Nagoya Castle is influenced by weather conditions and can vary from year to year. The spring season is short, and while we have scheduled this tour during the estimated bloom period, there is no guarantee that blossoms will be in full bloom during your visit. However we hope you enjoy the vibrant spring scenery regardless of the timing.

  • Explore the Nagoya Castle grounds
  • Sip tea in the gardens of a former Lord at the Nagoya Castle Teahouse
  • Indulge in seasonal spring treats
  • Enjoy the beautiful Cherry Blossoms in the Tokugawa Garden
