When is the best time to come to Nagoya?
The best months to visit Nagoya are March, April and May. Days are mostly dry and sunny. Cherry blossoms usually begin blooming at the end of March to early April.
How many days to spend in Nagoya?
I don’t recommend visiting Nagoya if you have only a week and this is your first visit to Japan. However, if you have enough time and want to visit the Toyota Museum or other remarkable places, I think 1-2 days will be enough to cover the most interesting sights and gems of Nagoya.

We paid in advance for a customized travel itinerary from Anna. While the initial itinerary was well thought out and included some great suggestions, we didn't feel as though we received much support during the actual trip. Although Anna did send us recommendations for accommodations and some changes to the itinerary, it didn't completely meet our needs. While the service was friendly, in the future we may choose to plan our travels on our own.
