Route value
Aichi is treated as a P1 deep route inside Chubu and Hokuriku. The point is not how many places can be listed, but whether the prefecture can become a coherent private route for one party.
Nagoya luxury hotels or Inuyama stays above JPY 20,000/night is the first operating anchor. WAKO reads drive time, seasonal risk, meal windows, luggage, and return pressure before recommending the order.
Aichi is ideal for business travelers adding a refined private day.
