Step into the everyday life of Katsuura—a small port town known not for sightseeing spots, but for its people, flavours, and stories.

In this experience, your bilingual guide Stella, deeply connected to the community, will show you the town not as a tourist spot, but as a place of daily life. Stroll scenic seaside streets, visit shops locals use, meet the warm-hearted people behind them, and taste flavours rooted in local living.

Along the way, Stella shares the story of Katsuura’s transformation—from its golden age of tuna fishing and tourism to today’s quiet revival—woven into the townscape.

After the walk, enjoy a locally sourced lunch with fresh tuna and conversation with your guide. Through these exchanges, you’ll gain deeper insight into Japanese society and culture.

This isn’t a tour that just shows you sights—it’s a journey of real encounters, cultural understanding, and connection with the community. All in a way that supports the town sustainably and leaves lasting memories.
