Time schedule

Meet your guide at the tourist pier Since this is a completely private tour, the start time and duration can be adjusted according to your needs.

Katsuura Port & Bottle Ball Street The tour starts at the town's most bustling shopping district, formerly known as "Ginza Street." In the early Showa period, the port was filled with tuna fishing boats, and the area was bustling with sailors and families seeing them off. In the 1950s and 60s, it became a popular honeymoon destination, and we will trace the town's transformation with precious photographs as it became a popular tourist destination.

Take a break at the Tuna Bath (foot bath) Take a break in a warm foot bath. After tracing the history of the vibrant Katsuura, it's time to soak in the charm of hot springs - something that has remained unchanged through the ages. While feeling the warmth, your guide will tell you about the charm of Katsuura's hot springs and the town today.

Shopping for breakfast/lunch (takeout) on the main street in front of the station and Izakata street Tour the guide's favorite shops and shop for delicious local food. We will introduce you to long-established shops as well as shops run by young people who have returned to their hometowns or moved to the area to take on new challenges in order to revitalize the town.

Picnic (optional) Enjoy breakfast/lunch made with fresh local ingredients purchased during your walk around town at your guide's favorite spot (at a scenic spot on a sunny day, or in a cozy guesthouse lounge on a rainy day, depending on the weather).
