Yuumi-tour of Noritake museum and gardens in Nagoya!
Viator had seemed to struggle to find a guide for our half-day tour, but persevered and found our guide, Yuumi - and what a fabulous guide they found for us! We wanted just to cover the Noritake museum and gardens in our half-day in Nagoya and Yuumi had prepared pictures and diagrams to give us important context before we arrived on site and this made the tour a really great one! Yuumi had relevant explanations for any questions that we had and, as we found out a bit later, demonstrated her wealth of experience that she has in tour-guiding. All six of us were looking forward to our Noritake tour - Yuumi made it such an enriching, enjoyable and memorable tour - we cannot thank you enough for your care for us - thanks a million Yuumi!

Wonderful experience!
Loved this tour and you will too! Excellent historical significance. Some of the compound is original and the part that was destroyed in the war was meticulously rebuilt. Tour guide was very informative and friendly.

Fantastic Local Guide Made Our Day in Nagoya, Japan
My wife & I had a wonderful experience with our guide in Nagoya, Japan. Tomoko Tabata was the best guide we had in our 12 days of guided tours in Japan. She was very well prepared for the tour & used her iPad to provide helpful background info about Japanese history related to Nagoya Castle. Tomoko is an extremely knowledgeable, skilled and friendly guide who helped us understand what we were seeing in beautiful Nagoya. We will never forget our day among the cherry blossoms at Nagoya Castle.
