Overview

This 6-hour private tour allows you to fully immerse yourself in the charm of Misaki and Jogashima, located at the southernmost tip of the peninsula closest to Tokyo. You’ll explore the scenic coastal hiking trails of Jogashima, a picturesque location that has earned two stars in the Michelin Green Guide Japan, and enjoy an outdoor tea break with traditional Japanese green tea ("Sencha") while taking in breathtaking views. Your guide will also introduce you to local favorite restaurants for a delightful lunch in this port town, followed by a walk through the historical streets of Misaki. Here, you’ll gain insider knowledge and catch glimpses of the lives and beliefs of those who have lived by the sea for generations. Ideal for adventure seekers and those seeking a mindful escape, this experience offers a peaceful retreat just an hour and a half from Tokyo, allowing you to discover "Glimpses of Unfamiliar Japan" far removed from the city’s hustle and bustle.

End Point

This activity ends back at the meeting point.

What To Expect

1. Jogashima Island Jogashima Island, located at the southernmost tip of the peninsula closest to Tokyo, has been awarded two stars in the Michelin Green Guide Japan. We can drive across a bridge to the island and begin our hike along its stunning rocky coastline, where you can sharpen your senses and experience a sense of freedom. The guide will also share the island's history and local beliefs during the hike. Towards the end of the hike, you'll have some free time at a rocky inlet. Here, on the edge of a small island in Japan, listen to the waves and feel the breeze as you can release your daily stress and pressure. After the free time, enjoy a cup of Sencha (Japanese green tea) prepared by the guide. Sencha is a unique Japanese tea culture created so that everyone, regardless of status or wealth, can experience Zen through tea. 3 hours

2. Misaki Port After the hike, we'll take a ferry from Jogashima to the opposite shore at Misaki Port (weather permitting; otherwise, we'll travel by car). Misaki is a long-renowned port and a scenic spot visited by literary figures and dignitaries. We'll embark on a walking tour to catch glimpses of the lives and faith of the people who live by the sea. The guide will show you charming alleys, beloved local shops, and market eateries that only locals know about. The guide will recommend you restaurants loved by locals in this port town (or Jogashima, depending on the situation). Enjoy a delicious and affordable lunch! 3 hours
