What Is a Private Walking Tour of Shimonoseki Like? A Licensed Guide's Report
The guests traveled across various parts of Japan for about a month, from Hokkaido to Kyushu, and during part of their journey they boarded a cruise ship and arrived in Shimonoseki. As long-distance walking was not a problem, we walked round-trip through the pedestrian section of the Kanmon Strait Tunnel from Akama Shrine, and also took a leisurely stroll through the former castle town of Chofu. Since arriving in Japan, they had often felt rushed in urban areas and crowded tourist spots, so they were delighted to spend a relaxed time in Shimonoseki, walking along the coast and among the samurai residences.

I was born and raised in Yamaguchi Prefecture and love Japanese history, so I would like to introduce the rich natural beauty and history of Yamaguchi Prefecture. Additionally, Yamaguchi is surrounded by the sea on three sides and is a place known for its delicious food.
I look forward to meeting you in Yamaguchi.

Experience Japanese traditions and culture
If you want to experience traditional Japanese culture and ambience, take this tour! Visited cultural gems, experienced a traditional Japanese lunch, visited the interior of a grand mansion and gardens, and then sat in the serenity of that garden with marcha. Our guide Suzy was well versed and gracious. It was a relaxing way to experience Japanese culture.
