Overview

Step back in time and explore Tomonoura, a designated Japan Heritage site that has preserved its historic charm since the days when it flourished as a bustling port during the Shogun era. Stroll along the serene harbour, where the breathtaking views of the Seto Inland Sea blend seamlessly with the town’s nostalgic atmosphere.

Delve deeper into history with a visit to the Ota Family Residence, where you'll experience the elegant lifestyle of the Edo period, then stroll through the town's quiet streets, stopping by ancient temples and a traditional brewery crafting Homeishu — a famed medicinal rice wine.

Join a local guide on an intimate walk through this picturesque port town — a place so enchanting it inspired Hayao Miyazaki’s beloved Studio Ghibli film Ponyo.

Whether you're travelling with family or friends, this private tour offers a personalised experience. Create unforgettable memories in Tomonoura — a hidden coastal treasure waiting to be discovered.
