Welcome to Omaezaki! People from the community around Omaezaki Port have come together to offer you a heartfelt local welcome.

In towns across Japan, temples are a familiar and essential part of daily life. On this experience, you will visit a temple that holds deep meaning for the local community. Guided by the head priest, try Zen meditation and learn the proper way to pay your respects, and enjoy a friendly talk that offers insight into temple life and Japanese spirituality.

Discover mizuhiki, the traditional decorative cord used in Japanese gift-giving, and try crafting your own beautiful design. Then experience the powerful rhythm of taiko—an art form deeply connected to Japanese culture—by making your own drumsticks and playing the drums yourself.

All of our staff are local residents, so you’ll also enjoy warm交流 with the community and a genuine taste of everyday life in Omaezaki.
