Tour of fishing town streets with kindness and humanity that lived together with whales

　The Tong area of Qinghai Island is a fishing village with narrow alleys and rows of houses typical of old-fashioned fishing villages that remind us of the original Japanese landscape. With an old map in hand, the Kayoi Guide Association will lead you on a tour of the village, where the whale culture, which lived on the sea and depended on whaling for its daily sustenance, still remains strong. [August 2021 - March 2022, 1st and 3rd Saturdays *Reservations required at least one week in advance].

　This is a guided walk in which visitors can trace the history of the town while looking at beautiful old maps produced by the Choshu clan’s cartographer and guided by a local guide. Walking through the town with an old map in hand and thinking about the streets, townscapes, and people’s lives in the past will make you feel like you are on a little time trip.
