- Overview
-
- On this half-day private tour, you can fully enjoy the charm of Misaki Port, located at the southernmost tip of the Peninsula closest to Tokyo.
- Although this port town is currently free from over-tourism, it has been a well-known resort and tourist spot in Japan for about 1,000 years. During the Edo period, it thrived as a stopover for ships carrying supplies to Edo (modern-day Tokyo). In the Showa era, it became famous as a base for deep-sea fishing, especially for tuna. During World War II, fortifications and torpedo storage were set up near this port town to protect Tokyo Bay.
- Today, the town is peaceful, with a quiet coastal life, but you can still find traces of its long history throughout the area.
- On this tour, your guide will show you paths and historical sites that first-time visitors might not find, explaining the life and beliefs of this port town. You'll also enjoy lunch at a local restaurant featuring fresh ingredients, and taste the soul food and snacks by the sea!
