Tailor made touring

Published on Nov, 2023

Since I was able to choose what I wanted to see. My guide Takako kindly to me to the Noh theater museum, as there were no Kubuki performances during my stay. It was perfect replacement, great to learn about the History of Noh Japanese Theater. Then we were able to tour Nagoya Castle. Being i was also interested in Japanese stoneware, but no factories were open. She took me to a second hand store. It was wonderful rummaging through all the treasures, where I made many purchases at bargain prices. Takako put a lot of thought into helping me achieve my wish list and making a huge success of my tour time. I highly recommend her as a guide. She was very fun, personable and knowledgeable.
