What to expect
Nagoya Castle was built in 1610 by Shogun Tokugawa Ieyasu. Ieyasu is a samurai who completed the unification of the country to finish the battle era and became the first shogun of Edo Government that lasted for 260 years.
This is where Toyota was started by Sakichi Toyoda as a Spinning and Weaving Company. The company’s studious, challenging, kaizen (striving for improvement), and creative spirit led the country to a big “manufacturing” nation and this world-famous company means a lot to locals in Nagoya region.
This is the museum where you can see the history as well as the latest technology of railways. You will be impressed not only by the number of successive trains, but also by the passion of technical experts that made our country famous for accurate and high speed Shinkansen (bullet train). Finally, you will learn how MAGLEV (magnetic train) will be operated that will start running between Tokyo and Nagoya soon in 2027.
The experience can be subject to change due to bad weather or unforseen circumstances. We always endeavour to give you the best possible experience.
