Nagoya: Guided Walking Tour of Hirokoji Street

Art, Culture, & Historical

This is a two-hour guided walking tour of Hirokoji Street, one of the main streets of central Nagoya which runs straight from the Nagoya Station area to Sakae, the very heart of Nagoya. Thousands of people just walk Hirokoji Street hurriedly to go to their offices, shops or restaurants destinations everyday but actually there are lots of interesting stories and trivia, both historic and modern. You will find out the city’s history, culture and life of local people through this walk.
