2025 Aichi Prefecture Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in May)

Japan has many theme parks, and in Nagoya, Aichi Prefecture, there is an animation kingdom - Ghibli Park. Young people born in the 80s and 90s probably all know about Ghibli. Even if the name is a bit unfamiliar, seeing its Totoro logo will definitely remind you of who it is. Hayao Miyazaki's animations accompanied my student days and are filled with youthful memories. Ghibli Park Travel Tips Transportation: Take the subway Higashiyama Line from Nagoya Station to Fujigaoka Station, then transfer to the Linimo Line to Aichikyuhaku Kinen Koen Station. The park is just a short walk from there. Or take a direct bus to Ghibli Park from the Meitetsu Bus Center and other major hubs. Tickets: Tickets can be purchased through the official website or authorized online channels. General admission tickets are usually sold two months in advance and are very difficult to get. Famous Sake Brand [Shiraoi]: At Sawada Shuzo, you can make a reservation for their sake tasting experience. Not only will there be a dedicated person to explain the history of sake, but you can also visit the sake brewing process and finally taste different sakes. If you like, you can purchase them. During the tasting session, appetizers are thoughtfully prepared for visitors, and different sakes are served in different porcelain cups, which are specially made in the Tokoname area. [AEON Mall Tokoname]: The architecture here is very retro, and the most eye-catching is the giant Maneki-neko (beckoning cat) - Tofuku - located in the center of the lobby. As a large shopping mall, there is a wide variety of shops here, and you can find almost everything you want to buy. Plus, it's only one stop away from the airport, making it perfect for picking up some last-minute souvenirs before heading to the airport. [Tokoname Ceramic Ware Road]: Here's another giant Maneki-neko! Let's take a picture together! Stroll along Tokoname Ceramic Ware Road. As the hometown of Maneki-neko, cute Maneki-neko elements can be seen everywhere. You'll also find several small Maneki-nekos in various shapes, making me feel like I've entered a miniature world of beckoning cats. It's very interesting. On Tokoname Ceramic Ware Road, there are many unique ceramic shops run by artists, as well as traditional old-style pottery shops. Everything is made by the shop owners themselves, and each piece is unique and worth collecting. [World Tile Museum]: On Tokoname Ceramic Ware Road, there is also a novel and unique World Tile Museum, which was a surprising discovery on this trip. What impressed me the most was that there are over a thousand representative tiles collected and displayed here, which is quite spectacular. I also experienced "tile pasting" and made a photo frame with small tiles representing the colors of autumn as a souvenir of this autumn trip. The museum has six themed areas where you can not only learn about the history and charm of ceramics but also experience other hands-on projects. [Chubu Centrair International Airport]: It's very close from Tokoname to Chubu Centrair International Airport. Be sure to check out the Flight of Dreams themed area located in Terminal 1. A Boeing 787 is parked here, and visitors can enter the aircraft to take photos and learn about related knowledge. It's very suitable for families with children. There is also a dedicated children's play area below the plane. If you want to free up your hands and entertain your kids, come here! There's also an airplane viewing platform. I must come and experience it next time I have enough time.

When I first went there last winter, I bought a ‘Daesanpo Ticket’ ticket and was only able to see the Daejanggo, but there was more to see in the Daejanggo than I thought, and I was so amazed by the details of the decorations… I was so curious about the outdoor area! So I went again with a ‘Daesanpo Premium Ticket’ ticket✨ I bought a ticket on the website at 2:00 PM on the 10th, 2 months ago, but this time, it was a weekday, so there was less waiting, so I was able to make a reservation easily! I entered at 12 o'clock and had a very fulfilling tour of the warehouse + Howl's Castle + May's House + Youth Hill in that order until the closing time (5 o'clock)😄 However, the park was bigger than I thought, so I was quite pressed for time at the end💦 May's House is located in a far corner compared to other areas, so I had to take a bus, but there were many people waiting for the bus, and sometimes I had to wait for the next bus, so if you feel pressed for time, it would be better to go to Howl's Moving Castle first, which has the most to see, and then look around other areas nearby! (May's House didn't seem to have as much to see as I thought) Howl's Moving Castle has a pretty large area and the details are crazy... ✨ When you actually go inside the moving castle, you'll see the scenery from Ghibli..! There are many things to see on the 2nd floor, but Howl's Room in particular is the place I was most impressed by in Ghibli Park🫢💕 Each prop was so real and mysterious! Since taking pictures inside is prohibited, I recommend that you go and see it in person. Reservation: After registering as a member on the official website, accepting applications starts from 14:00 on the 10th of the 2nd month (first-come, first-served basis) Closed: Every Tuesday Opening hours: 10:00 - 17:00 (Admission time is selected on a first-come, first-served basis in one-hour increments) Location: Nagoya City Aichi Prefecture Expo Park 〒480-1342 Aichi Prefecture Nagoya Prefecture Nagoya-shi Ikemachi-mae-1533-1 Aichi Expo Park (Molicolo Park) #GhibliThemePark #GhibliPark #NagoyaTravel #PlacesToVisitInNagoya #Nagoya #AichiPrefecture #Ghibli

Sobue-cho, Aichi Prefecture, is a ginkgo producing area, and a ginkgo festival is held during the autumn foliage season. The ginkgo trees turning yellow are a spectacular sight.

[Yamamotoya Main Store Sakae Chuo Store] Aichi: 7 minutes walk from Sakae Station | Miso nikomi udon with kashiwa (¥ 1150) It seems that the lid is used as a plate to eat, but I just stuck ✌️ Udon is relatively hard and chewy, so it looks like the amount is small, but it makes me quite full 😆 I wonder if I could have ordered the rice ... It was a waste because there was a lot of juice left 😭 (It should be absolutely delicious if you eat it over rice!) Yamamotoya is crowded everywhere, but this shop is a little-known spot ^ _ ^ .. .. .. #yamamotoya #yamamotoya Main Store #miso nikomi udon #aichi gourmet #nagoya

[Atsuta Houraiken Matsuzakaya store] Aichi: 2 minutes walk from Yabacho Station Matsuzakaya Nagoya Store South Building 10F | Hitsumabushi (¥ 3900) The originator of "Hitsumabushi", which is celebrating its 146th year this year. An immovable well-known store that waits for 2.3 hours when it gets crowded. It was my first hitsumabushi, so I asked him to follow "How to eat hitsumabushi". The eel, which is finely chopped and mixed with rice, is exquisitely baked and has a crispy surface and fluffy inside. There is plenty of secret sauce soaked in and it's delicious to be impressed 🥺 The condiments (seaweed, all-purpose onion, wasabi) are also delicious and go well with rice 🤤 Finally, add bonito broth to make ochazuke. Satisfied with stomach and heart ♡

There are also many animals in the play area, so it's a place that both children and adults can enjoy😊 There is also a barbecue garden! Barbecues require reservations, so please check the website◎ #aichi #farm #animals #aichi #sunflowers #sunflowers #flowers #flowers

#springitinerary Inuyama Castle is one of those places that totally sneaks up on you. It’s not as crowded as some of the bigger castles, but it’s got so much charm. Perched on a hill above the Kiso River, the view from the top is epic, especially at sunset when the whole town below starts to glow. The castle itself is Japan’s oldest surviving wooden castle tower, so it’s got this authentic, old-school vibe that you don’t always get at more polished tourist spots. Inside, you can check out the original wooden beams and narrow staircases, which give you a real feel for what life must’ve been like back in the day. The surrounding area is pretty chill too, with temples and nice walking paths. If you’re in the Aichi area and want a more peaceful, less touristy castle experience, Inuyama Castle is totally worth the visit. It’s simple but stunning.

#JapanGuide #PlacesToVisitInNagoya #NagoyaTravel #NagoyaCafe #NagoyaTravelCourse 🍙 A stylish and cool space where you can enjoy simple meals, coffee, and desserts in a Nagoya Sakae Cafe Tour Gourmet Guide 📍Popeye: Japan 〒460-0008 Aichi, Nagoya, Naka Ward, Sakae, 2 Chome−2−36 十七ビル 📍Opening Hours: 09:00~17:00 💐 We introduce the Nagoya cafeteria ‘Popeye Fushimi’ with a sophisticated atmosphere with plants and an antique wooden duplex interior as a Nagoya cafe tour travel guide!

#springitinerary This is one of those underrated spots that totally surprises you. It’s technically a Buddhist temple, but it looks and feels like a Shinto shrine. Think bright red torii gates, rows of stone foxes, and that peaceful, mystical vibe. Founded way back in 1441, it’s dedicated to Dakiniten, a Buddhist deity who kinda merged with Inari over the centuries. The result? A spiritual mashup that works beautifully. The main attraction is Reikozuka, aka the hill full of fox statues, hundreds of them wearing little red bibs. Each one is a thank-you offering from people whose wishes came true. It’s weirdly powerful and super photogenic. You don’t need to be religious to appreciate it. It’s just a cool, calm place to wander, make a wish, and maybe snack on some street food outside the gates. If you’re in Aichi, this spot deserves a detour.

#springitinerary Chiiwa Gorge is one of those places that makes you feel like you’ve stumbled into a hidden world. Tucked away in the mountains of Shinshiro (not Kyoto, don’t let Google confuse you), it’s a chill hike through forest trails, past clear streams, and up toward these crazy rock formations and caves. The name “Chiiwa” means “breast rock” because of these wild stalactites in a cave that literally look like... well, you get it. The area has this peaceful, almost spiritual vibe, probably because there are little Buddhist statues tucked into the caves, and a natural stone gate called Tsūtenmon that’s super cool to walk through. It’s part workout, part nature therapy, with just enough quirk to keep things interesting. Not too touristy, not too tough, just bring good shoes and a sense of adventure. Perfect for escaping the city and pretending you're in a Ghibli movie for a few hours.

I had about 3 hours to spare due to a Shinkansen transfer, so I went sightseeing in Nagoya in a short time! ⛩️『Atsuta Shrine』 I was surprised to find such a large shrine surrounded by nature in the city! It was so grand that I forgot I was in the city! 🚃Right after getting off at Atsuta Jingu Nishi Station! 🍽️Lunch　『Yabaton』　La Chic branch When you come to Nagoya, you have to eat misokatsu! So I went! It was very filling and I was full! ⚠️There is a waiting time during certain times! If you have a busy schedule, be sure to make a reservation! 🕰️Business hours: 11:00-21:30 🚃About a 5-10 minute walk from Sakae or Sakaemachi Station 🗼Chubu Electric Power MIRAI TOWER It was quite a sight to see! I recommend taking a photo with the inverted tower reflected in the pond! There were many shops surrounding the tower! 🚃Right next to Hisaya Odori Station! After visiting these three places, I bought some souvenirs at Nagoya Station and headed home! It was a short time of only 3 hours, but it was great to be able to experience Nagoya! Nagoya Station is a bit difficult to navigate, so I recommend that beginners arrive at the station early! #EnjoyJapan #NagoyaSightseeing #Nagoya #Aichi

It takes about 40 minutes by train from Nagoya Station to Gamagori Station. From Gamagori Station, take a taxi for about 20 minutes🚗 to arrive. As it is located at the tip of Nishiura Peninsula, it offers a 360-degree view of the sea and is a beautiful hot spring town. It has been loved by literati and scholars since ancient times.

Haritsuna Shrine (Haritsuna Jinja), located in Inuyama City, Aichi Prefecture, is a historic shrine situated right next to the National Treasure, Inuyama Castle. While the exact date of its founding is unknown, the shrine boasts a history of over 1,000 years and is said to have originally been located on the castle hill of Inuyama Castle. After several relocations since 1537, it was moved to its current location in 1882. The main deity enshrined here is Owari Harinanemuraji no Mikoto, who is believed to grant blessings for safe childbirth, warding off evil, traffic safety, and fertility. Haritsuna Shrine is also listed in the Engishiki Jinmyocho, a historical record of shrines, and has long been revered as the regional guardian shrine of the Nobi area. The shrine's annual festival, the Inuyama Festival, takes place on the first Saturday and Sunday of April each year. During the festival, 13 floats (known as "yama") parade through the city. This event was designated as an Important Intangible Folk Cultural Property by the Japanese government in 2006 and was registered as a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage in 2016. The nighttime float procession, "Yoyama," is particularly enchanting, as the floats are illuminated by lanterns and surrounded by blooming cherry blossoms, creating a magical atmosphere. Haritsuna Shrine is accessible by a 15-minute walk from either Inuyama-Yuen Station or Inuyama Station on the Meitetsu Inuyama Line. As you head toward Inuyama Castle, you will see the shrine's torii gate. While the shrine offers a parking lot for visitors, it tends to get crowded on weekends and holidays, so using public transportation is recommended. Why not visit Haritsuna Shrine along with your trip to Inuyama Castle? You can enjoy a tranquil moment in the serene shrine grounds, immersing yourself in history and tradition.
