Discover Wakayama through the seafood sold and eaten at Kuroshio Market. On this private 1-hour tour, explore the market with a local guide and learn how the Kuroshio Current and the seas around the Kii Peninsula have shaped the region’s rich seafood culture.
As you walk through the market, discover the variety of seafood commonly seen in Japan, from tuna and salmon to oysters and seasonal catches. Your guide will also introduce seafood closely connected with Wakayama and the surrounding waters, such as tuna, cutlassfish, grouper, and spiny lobster, while explaining where they come from and how they are typically enjoyed.
Beyond simply identifying different kinds of fish, learn how seafood fits into everyday life in Japan. Hear about how often local people eat fish, common ways it is prepared at home and in restaurants, and how seasonality influences what appears on the table.
After exploring the market together, choose what you would like to eat from the available seafood stalls and food court. A ¥3,000 meal credit per guest is included, giving you the freedom to select a seafood bowl, sushi, grilled fish, or another dish that suits your taste.
Rather than simply visiting Kuroshio Market on your own, this tour gives you the cultural and local context to better understand the seafood you see and eat, all in a compact private experience.
