About this experience

Misaki is located at the tip of the Miura Peninsula, famous as a port for tuna. Not only delicious fresh tuna dishes, Misaki offers one-and-only unique cultural experience such as incense-sachet making and a Big-Catch flag coloring. Historic downtown Misaki has many traditional buildings; and some are renovated to modern shops like coffee roaster. We also enjoy award-winning microbrewery beer and if schedule matches, we will take a bus to Miura Beechh, enjoying magnificent view of great nature in Misaki/Miura region.
