\\The Live Auction & The People:// Witness the high-energy tuna auction right before your eyes! While you capture photos and videos of the impressive rows of tuna, I will introduce you to the different roles of the people working here—from the buyers to the market staff. Feel free to ask "What is that person doing?" or "How do they work together?" the moment the question pops into your head.
\\Deep Dive into Tuna Culture (Exhibition Room)// After the excitement of the port, we move to a specialized exhibition room. Using maps, illustrations, and videos, I will explain the "hidden stories" you can't see from the surface—such as our sustainable fishing methods, the town's history, and the deep connection between the sea and our community.

A must do in Kii-Katsuura

5.00I did the tuna auction audio guided tour and I recommend it 100% if you're in Kii-Katsuura. It was one of the highlight of my stay there. It's a great option especially if you're a solo traveler. The platform is very user friendly and it has pictures on where to be located when you listen to each audio. The audios are short, to the point, give you enough information to follow the actual auction happening in front of you.The content was very useful to understand who are the buyers, what they do and why. I had the chance to have a chat with Stella at the end of the tour and ask my questions. I really appreciated her taking the time and explaining in further details the things I was curious about. Do take the breakfast option. After hearing all about the process and the auction, tasting fresh tuna was such a privilege!
Short and rich tour, unique experience

5.00Absolute recommendation for this short but rich tour. I'm so glad we didn't just go to the fish market and observe the auction ourselves because we wouldn't understand anything. Having someone as knowledgeable and professional as Chizuko explain the details of the auction, teach us about different types of tuna, the way how tuna is caught and treated, tell us funny stories from the previous auctions... it was worth waking up so early! On the day we went, there were 2400 tunas at the auction - very impressive sight. If you happen to go to Nachikatsuura (the capital of tuna :)), I warmly recommend this tour.
Charm and knowledge in abundance

5.00Stella is a fantastic guide. She gives concise information about Kii-Katsura’s ups and downs with passion, as well as the historical and socio-economic background. Visits to local shops and conversations with locals are extremely rewarding. A delicious lunch with local specialities and a crash course in furokoshi-tying.

5.00I went to the market independently the day prior, had no idea what was happening, so I reached out to Stella, and wow am I glad I did! Stella was already booked with another group, so I opted for her audio guide tour. Although I was hesitant because I really wanted a live guide, the audio tour was very informative and really pleasantly surprised me. I learned SO much about the tuna industry, cultural norms, and history of the tuna community here. It made the market experience so much richer and enjoyable. Stella was full of information, made herself available for several questions after the market, and is truly passionate about the industry here. I would highly encourage others to book her guide - both in person or audio, as it really made a huge difference of my market experience here. Thank you, Stella!
Memorable experience!

5.00Had a fantastic Tuna auction tour with Stella. She communicated all trip details we needed. She met us on time. After a few minutes of meeting Stella it was like going to the auction with an old friend. She was prepared with props and ipad for fish details. Was a really great experience, after tour we had breakfast at local shop of fresh Tuna. It does taste better in Nachi-Katsuura!!!
