A day trip to Inuyama Castle, Ena Gorge Observatory, Magome-juku & Tsumago-juku in Gifu, Japan | Departing from Nagoya
2026/06/28
Unfortunately, it rained that day, but thankfully we were on a large tour bus, so the journey wasn't too frustrating. Inuyama Castle was very crowded, but the views were definitely worth it. Ena Gorge is viewed from a small observation deck, but the apples and peaches sold at the shops were really sweet, and you won't regret buying them. Although we only had two hours in Magome-juku, it felt a bit short including lunch time. Perhaps because of the rain, some shops were closed, so there weren't many places to visit, which was a bit of a shame. Tsumago-juku, however, was a different story. Although it was raining there too, I personally preferred the atmosphere. The view of the distant mountains and the strolling through the alleyways created a wonderful ambiance! Overall, it was a very good day trip!

The driver was friendly and polite, thoughtfully introducing each attraction, and taking you directly to the entrance of each stop instead of just dropping you off in a parking lot. The vehicle was large and comfortable. It was a great travel experience.

Central Japan Day Tour | Magome + Tsumago + Ena Gorge Observatory + Inuyama Castle (Departing from Nagoya)

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.
