Inuyama

Overall itinerary ok, but Inuyama Castle time is too little, can be adjusted. It is also recommended that people going up to the castle can wear non-slip socks, because the stairs are very high and a bit slippery. It rained almost half of the day today, which affected the mood a bit, in fact, the scenery was beautiful, and there were buying some handicrafts. The tour guide Yukino was very good, seeing that he had to communicate in the three languages is very busy, hard.

When making the reservation, I selected the opening time, but the shop wasn't on the main street as stated in the reservation description; instead, it was on the second floor of a shop in the old town. The shopkeeper carefully explained the precautions beforehand. After selecting the clothing, I went inside a small room to help me get dressed. Although the men's styles weren't as complicated as the women's, it still took some time to get dressed. They even provided a vintage-style tote bag for my phone. Wearing black socks and wooden clogs while strolling through the old town, I could easily make my way to Inuyama Castle, which was quite an interesting experience.

Before the trip, they created a group chat to confirm the details, including the type of car seat the child needed. The driver not only spoke Chinese but also drove very smoothly, and the child slept soundly the whole time.

Even during Golden Week, people can still enjoy a very leisurely stroll around Eihoji Temple, Magome-juku, and Tsumago-juku.

As a zoo specializing in primates, it boasts an extensive primate exhibit. Others have already written about the good points, so I'll just mention some things that I found noteworthy. ① While Higashiyama Zoo has several gorillas, this zoo only has one, an elderly gorilla who is the oldest male gorilla in Japan. Because he's elderly, he's not very active. If you're only interested in gorillas, Higashiyama Zoo might be a better choice. ② While you can pay with cash for souvenirs, all restaurants only accept cash. If you plan to eat or drink in the zoo, be sure to bring cash.
