Overview
Schedule
The pickup will be on foot. If needed, a taxi will be arranged. The fare is paid directly to the driver.
*No arrangement fee.
\\The Live Auction & The People//
Take a moment to simply watch the tuna auction and enjoy the atmosphere. Capture photos and videos freely.
When questions pop into your head, feel free to ask. Your guide will explain the people and their work in the order that interests you.
\\Deep Dive into Tuna Culture //
For guests who want to go deeper, we visit an exhibition room —sometimes still overlooking rows of tuna. Maps, visuals, and videos help reveal the deeper stories behind tuna, including sustainable fishing, the town’s history, and its connection to the sea.
If you’re interested, a local breakfast spot can be introduced at the end of the tour.
It’s a place your guide Stella often visits, especially for its fresh tuna.
(Breakfast cost is not included.)
Hi! I’m Stella, a bilingual local guide in Katsuura.
Having grown up in a city and lived overseas, I share the town through a cross-cultural lens.
I truly love this town and enjoy introducing the hidden gems and stories behind the town’s tuna culture and daily life.
Tour ends at the market.
