Overview

Begin your private shore excursion with a convenient pickup directly from Sakata Port. Travel comfortably in your own private vehicle. Unlike a large group tour, there is no need to keep pace with other travelers, allowing you to enjoy each destination at your own pace.

Begin at Sankyo Warehouses, historic rice storehouses reflecting Sakata’s past as a trading port. Continue to the Former Honma Residence and Honma Museum to discover the history of the influential Honma family.
Next, visit Hiyoriyama Park, closely connected to Sakata’s maritime heritage, followed by Sakata Seafood Market, where you can browse local seafood and regional products.

＊＊＊
The driver speaks Japanese, and communication will be assisted by a translation app. Before your tour, you will receive an English digital guidebook with information about the itinerary and sightseeing locations. Pre-tour customer support is available in English.

Return comfortably to Sakata Port in time for your ship’s departure.
