Next, visit Hiyoriyama Park, closely connected to Sakata’s maritime heritage, followed by Sakata Seafood Market, where you can browse local seafood and regional products.

＊＊＊ The driver speaks Japanese, and communication will be assisted by a translation app. Before your tour, you will receive an English digital guidebook with information about the itinerary and sightseeing locations. Pre-tour customer support is available in English.
