About This Tour
Escape the bustle of the city and discover the charm of Shioya, a peaceful fishing village near Kobe. On this 4-hour private shore tour, you’ll explore authentic Japanese daily life with a friendly local guide while meeting residents, tasting specialties, and strolling through historic streets. Begin at the harbor for photogenic views of Mt. Rokko, Awaji Island, and the Akashi Kaikyō Bridge. Learn how Japanese nori (seaweed) is grown and enjoy a tasting at a local family shop. Walk through Shioya’s narrow streets to discover a temple, a shrine, and the local shopping street. Visit a 100-year-old barber shop, a tatami factory, and the heritage Guggenheim House. Along the way, sample snacks and drinks while engaging with the welcoming townspeople for a truly authentic experience.
