Tourism Designers

Tourism Designers is a Japan-based travel company specializing in culturally immersive experiences rooted in real local life. Discover Nagoya is our signature tour brand, created to showcase Nagoya and Central Japan through thoughtfully curated, experience-driven journeys. Unlike Tokyo or Kyoto, Nagoya is not a city shaped by tourism. It is where people live, work, and carry on centuries-old traditions—making it an ideal place to experience Japan beyond crowds and clichés. Nagoya offers a rare balance: a strong local identity rooted in samurai heritage, traditional craftsmanship, and bold regional cuisine, while also bringing together the essence of Japanese culture in one place. From tea ceremonies and hands-on craft workshops to exclusive geisha dining and walks through hidden local neighborhoods, each experience is deeply connected to everyday local life. Located in the heart of the country, Nagoya is easily accessible by international flights and the Shinkansen, and serves as a strategic gateway to destinations such as the Japanese Alps, the Nakasendo Trail, Shirakawa-go, Takayama, Ise Shrine, and beyond—all within easy reach. Through Discover Nagoya, Tourism Designers offers a wide range of tours—from cultural workshops and historical walks to nature escapes and private, tailor-made experiences. Every tour is carefully designed and led by knowledgeable guides with deep regional expertise. Nagoya is not just a stopover—it is a destination in its own right.
