5.0 · 2 Reviews

Overview

Step into a quieter side of Japan on a private tour of Tomonoura, a historic port town overlooking the Seto Inland Sea. Walk through traditional streets, temples and the old harbor while discovering how Tomonoura prospered for centuries as a tide-waiting port. Enjoy peaceful waterfront scenery, the iconic Joyato Lighthouse and the atmosphere of a living coastal community far from Japan’s busiest tourist routes. Tomonoura is also closely associated with Hayao Miyazaki’s inspiration for Ponyo, making it especially memorable for animation and film fans. Your experienced Japanese local guide brings deep regional knowledge, international experience and clear English. Meet at Fukuyama Station and explore at your own pace on a fully private tour designed for travelers looking for authentic Japan, history and the beauty of the Seto Inland Sea.
