Tour Overview
Discover Nagoya Castle as few ever do — after closing, free from crowds. Built by Tokugawa Ieyasu, it remains a symbol of the city with its golden shachihoko ornaments.
Enter the Honmaru Palace, once the political heart of the Tokugawa lords. Destroyed in 1945 and rebuilt with traditional methods, it reopened in 2018 as a showcase of Japanese artistry. Walk cedar corridors, admire brilliant fusuma paintings, and sense the grandeur of shogun life.
This exclusive tour also grants access to restricted spaces, including the shogun’s chambers, for rare photo opportunities. An unforgettable evening where history and art come alive.
