Happy New Year 2026 from Nippon Navigators 🎍 Japan welcomes the Year of the Horse with 108 bell strikes at Kyoto’s Chion-in. Cast in 1636, the 70-ton bell needs 17 monks to ring it once. Travel Japan with real insight.

Shimekazari are Japanese New Year decorations hung on doorways to welcome Toshigami and ward off harmful spirits. Made from rice straw, pine, rice stalks, and shide, they are replaced yearly and burned in January.

At Nippon Navigators, we don’t sell hype. Nara is oversold. The deer can be aggressive, sanitation is an issue, and its “ancient capital” story is simplified. We offer Nara tours honestly and would rather guests skip it than leave disappointed. #Nipponnavigators #nipponnavigatorsprivatetours #japan

Jinzo-ji Temple, just outside Kyoto, is glowing in full autumn color. Its maple-filled paths blaze red and gold — and with so few visitors, it often feels like your own private temple.

Nara feels overrated—spread out, crowded, and full of aggressive deer lying in droppings tourists often walk through. Nakatanidou’s mochi show is pure gimmick, though Tōdai-ji and Kasuga Taisha remain truly worth visiting.

A windy visit to Hino-Yakushi (法界寺) in Kyoto’s Fushimi Ward — origins around 1051, the 1226 rebuilt Amida Hall is a national treasure. Leaves not quite red yet, but the history spoke for itself.

See Kyoto’s Hamaguri Gomon Gate at the Imperial Palace—its wood still shows bullet marks from the 1864 Kinmon Incident. Visit on our Kyoto Bike Tour (advance booking) or Custom Imperial Tour (ask for details) and learn a secret to making a dragon roar! #Nipponnavigators #nipponnavigatorsprivatetours

Kenchū-ji Temple in Nagoya, built in 1608 by the Tokugawa family, is the ancestral temple of the Owari branch. Its grand halls and deep samurai history show a quieter, historic side of Nagoya—worth exploring beyond Kyoto or Osaka.

Morning walk through Kyoto’s Bukkoji Temple — founded from Shinran’s 1212 hermitage and later moved by Toyotomi Hideyoshi. A calm reminder of Kyoto’s centuries-old spirit before our tour day begins!

Kyoto’s Tō-ji Temple, founded in 796 AD, is home to Japan’s tallest wooden pagoda. Once paired with the lost Sai-ji “West Temple,” it now shines solo. Visit on the 21st for its flea market or in November for glowing autumn lights! #Nipponnavigators #nipponnavigatorsprivatetours #japan

Our guests explored Kyoto’s north Higashiyama and visited Shōren-in Temple, once home to imperial priests. The gardens glow with early touches of autumn, though peak colors are still a month away. #Nipponnavigators #nipponnavigatorsprivatetours #japan #kyoto #kyototours

Don’t let Kyoto’s rain slow you down. While others head to Nishiki Market or Teramachi, grab an umbrella and explore—temples glisten, moss gardens glow, and Kyoto reveals its quiet beauty.

Nagoya Castle shines at night, its golden shachihoko glowing above the city. The 1959 replica will soon be rebuilt in wood, restoring the 1612 Tokugawa-era design lost in WWII. A perfect blend of history and renewal.

A perfect day at Inuyama Castle—the oldest surviving wooden keep in Japan, built in 1537& cared for by the Naruse family for 400 years. Our guests loved exploring the castle town & local shops under the clear autumn sky!
