Treten Sie ein in den Alltag von Katsuura – einer kleinen Hafenstadt, die nicht für Sehenswürdigkeiten, sondern für ihre Menschen, Aromen und Geschichten bekannt ist. In diesem Erlebnis zeigt Ihnen Ihre zweisprachige Guide Stella, die tief mit der Gemeinde verbunden ist, die Stadt nicht als Touristenort, sondern als Ort des täglichen Lebens. Schlendern Sie durch malerische Straßen am Meer, besuchen Sie Geschäfte, die Einheimische nutzen, treffen Sie die warmherzigen Menschen hinter ihnen und probieren Sie Aromen, die im lokalen Leben verwurzelt sind. Unterwegs erzählt Stella die Geschichte der Transformation Katsuuras – von der goldenen Ära der Thunfischfischerei und des Tourismus bis hin zur heutigen ruhigen Wiederbelebung – eingewoben in das Stadtbild. Nach dem Spaziergang genießen Sie ein Mittagessen aus der Region mit frischem Thunfisch und einem Gespräch mit Ihrem Guide. Durch diesen Austausch erhalten Sie einen tieferen Einblick in die japanische Gesellschaft und Kultur. Dies ist keine Tour, die Ihnen nur Sehenswürdigkeiten zeigt – es ist eine Reise der echten Begegnungen, des kulturellen Verständnisses und der Verbindung mit der Gemeinschaft. Alles auf eine Weise, die die Stadt nachhaltig unterstützt und bleibende Erinnerungen hinterlässt.
