The tour runs rain or shine. Much of the experience takes place outdoors, including exploring Okazaki Castle and its grounds, so we recommend bringing an umbrella or rain jacket and wearing comfortable shoes. In the case of severe weather, we’ll contact you in advance to discuss any changes to the itinerary.
