    What you'll see and do

    1. Toyokawa Inari Temple

      Toyokawa Inari Shrine is one of Japan’s “Big Three” Inari shrines—alongside Fushimi Inari Taisha in Kyoto and Yutoku Inari Shrine in Saga. This stunning complex is home to over 1000 Inari fox statues, each dressed in bright red bibs, guarding the grounds. Your guide will provide you with a tour of the shrine and the adjoined Buddhist temple, explaining its fascinating history, while still leaving you plenty of time to go off and explore on your own so you can capture the beauty of this sacred site through your camera lens.

      60 minutes here · Admission included

    2. Toyokawa Inari Omotesando

      After touring the shrine, you will have some time to purchase souvenirs at Toyokawa’s Omotesando shopping street—a lively street with a retro feel. The street is famous for its Inari Sushi, a type of sushi made with vinegared rice tucked inside sweet and salty deep-fried tofu pockets and a must-try snack. Feel free to ask your guide for recommendations or let your nose lead the way!

      15 minutes here

    3. Okazaki

      We will arrive in Okazaki where you will have the chance to learn about Hatcho Miso and how it is made while visiting a Miso Factory. You will also have the chance to eat lunch cooked with the miso inside the factory itself!

      120 minutes here

    4. Korankei Visitor Center

      Korankei Gorge is a beloved destination for nature lovers. And sticking with the theme of “big three,” Korankei is one of Japan’s top three autumn leaf destinations—highly regarded for its 4,000 Japanese maple trees that transform the landscape with rich reds and golds each autumn. But Korankei is not just an autumn wonder—each season brings its own unique charm, from wildflowers in spring to vibrant green foliage in summer, and romantic snowy scenery in winter. We'll take a scenic walk through the gorge, where you’ll have time to snap plenty of photos, including the iconic Tomoebashi Bridge and the 11 different varieties of maple trees. You'll also have time to explore Sanshu Asuke Yashiki Village, a living museum that brings the old Japanese rural lifestyle to life. Here, you can witness traditional crafts like blacksmithing, bamboo weaving, waraji straw sandal making, and indigo dyeing. You’ll have time to explore the village and watch artisans at work.

    Exceeded my expectations!

    We had such a great time with our guide, Kim. She was bubbly, informative and very accommodating! We learnt a lot during the tour - Kim was always ready to answer our questions. Even my six year old had a great time. Highly recommended! :) Thanks for the wonderful experience, Kim!

    Cultural countryside visit

    We had a beautiful day out experiencing places we hadn't seen before while learning all about miso making. Our guide Kim was excellent and our driver Ozaki-san got us to and from comfortably (nice AC bus). While the colors were not out in the gorge yet, it was beautiful and getting up close to the artisans crafting their wares was also a highlight. Highly recommended trip.

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed discovering new places, learning about the traditional art of miso making, and getting up close to the local artisans and their crafts. Even without the autumn colors fully appearing, we’re glad you were able to appreciate the beauty of the gorge and the unique experiences along the way. Thank you for your recommendation, and we hope to welcome you back to Japan for another memorable adventure with Snow Monkey Resorts!

    From Nagoya: Discover Aichi — Korankei, Miso, & Inari Shrine: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Nagoya.

    How much does From Nagoya: Discover Aichi — Korankei, Miso, & Inari Shrine cost?

    +

    Prices start at $191 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Nagoya usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does From Nagoya: Discover Aichi — Korankei, Miso, & Inari Shrine take?

    +

    Plan for about 8.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Nagoya is not rushed.

    Is From Nagoya: Discover Aichi — Korankei, Miso, & Inari Shrine worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 71 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 8 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Nagoya, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule From Nagoya: Discover Aichi — Korankei, Miso, & Inari Shrine?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is From Nagoya: Discover Aichi — Korankei, Miso, & Inari Shrine suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book From Nagoya: Discover Aichi — Korankei, Miso, & Inari Shrine?

    +

    Around 3 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Nagoya can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Nagoya and add a light layer if any part of the 8.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does From Nagoya: Discover Aichi — Korankei, Miso, & Inari Shrine start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Nagoya within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Nagoya?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Nagoya experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Hiking the Historic Nakasendo Trail [1 Day Tour from Nagoya], Nagoya Highlight Tour guided by a friendly local, Ghibli Park 1-Day Bus Tour from Nagoya. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Nagoya?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Nagoya?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in From Nagoya: Discover Aichi — Korankei, Miso, & Inari Shrine?

    +

    Included: Admission fees; In-vehicle air conditioning; and Official Guide. Not included: Lunch. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for From Nagoya: Discover Aichi — Korankei, Miso, & Inari Shrine?

    +

    The meetup point is at the base of the SILVER clock tower outside of the Shinkansen gates inside Nagoya JR Station. Please look for the guide holding a SNOW MONKEY RESORTS tour sign. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    What languages is From Nagoya: Discover Aichi — Korankei, Miso, & Inari Shrine offered in?

    +

    It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for From Nagoya: Discover Aichi — Korankei, Miso, & Inari Shrine?

    +

    Is From Nagoya: Discover Aichi — Korankei, Miso, & Inari Shrine wheelchair or stroller accessible?
