Nagoya Horikawa Cruise
Enjoy the Nagoya Castle and Shikemichi area in autumn while solving mysteries on the “Nagoya Horikawa Cruise”! On the Horikawa River, which was created in 1610 along with the construction of Nagoya Castle, guided boats operate on two routes connecting the boarding piers from “Nagoyajo-mae (Asahibashi),” just near Nagoya Castle, to “Nayabashi,” and to “Gojobashi,” which is close to the Shikemichi and Endoji Shopping Street areas. There are also special cruises featuring members of the Nagoya Omotenashi Busho-tai and casts from Nagoya-za, as well as night cruises where you can enjoy the city lights. While solving mysteries, you can take in the extraordinary scenery from the boat!!
