Tour Overview
Begin at Nagonoya Café, where a professional dresser outfits you in a kimono — or a light yukata in summer — with traditional footwear. After choosing your pattern in advance, set out with a local guide to Shikemichi, rebuilt over 300 years ago after a great fire. Its earthen-walled storehouses, broad streets, and roof-deity houses reflect Nagoya’s heritage.
Continue into Endoji Shopping Street, the city’s oldest arcade, still lively with family-run shops and stylish cafés. As you stroll, your guide shares stories where tradition meets daily life. This experience offers not only elegant kimono photos but also cultural immersion in a district where past and present coexist.
