Tour of antique shops, cultural stores known only to the locals

Tourist attractions are ok, but this tour has captured the hearts of the guests the most. And above all, the best way to feel the real Japan is to blend in with the locals. I would like to introduce a few of the places where we usually spend extraordinary time. The highlight is an antique shop. It is wonderful rummaging through all the treasures, where you can make many purchases at bargain prices. But I will suggest several spots in that neighborhood, so please feel free to customize your own combination of these places. Depending on specific requests, we will also introduce spots not mentioned here. For example, if you lived in Nagoya's American village with the Occupation Forces after the war, and you would like to feel the atmosphere of those days, I can take you to related places.
Please feel free to tell me anything!! E.g. acupuncture to relieve travel fatigue, a barbershop to get a haircut, or anything else. I will accompany you as much as possible.

Stop At: Nittai-ji Temple, 1-1 Hoo-cho, Chikasa-ku, Nagoya 464-0057 Aichi Prefecture

Nittaiji is the only temple in Japan that does not belong to any specific sect but represents all the sects. The holy remains of Buddha were provided from Thailand (then Siam) and Nittaiji（then Nissenji) was built in 1904 with agreement of the representatives of all the Buddhist sects. Under the name of ”Kakuo” representing Buddha, Kakuozan Nissenji was built by the symbol of friendship between Japan and Siam. Afterwards, Nissenji changed the name as Nittaiji in accordance with changing the name of the country from Siam to Thailand in 1939. The administration of Nittaiji is managed by 19 Buddhist sects alternatively every three years. In this sense, chief priest is chosen among 19 sects.
Kobo Daishi(great master) fair of 21st of every month is crowded all day and many stalls open on the precinct of Nittaiji.
After visiting the temple, take a break. There are several calm, antique cafes overlooking the Japanese garden.
