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!
