What To Expect
Stop 1
⏱ 2hNestled between the sea and the sacred mountains of Kumano, Kii-Tanabe is a town where daily life and gastronomy flow in harmony. The port brings in fresh catches from Tanabe Bay—amberjack, squid, and sea bream—while nearby hills yield plums, citrus, and mountain vegetables. This meeting of sea and land shaped a deeply rooted cuisine celebrating balance, freshness, and simplicity. Family-run izakaya line the backstreets, where locals gather over spring-water sake or crisp Voyager Brewing beers, Tanabe’s pride. Grilled Kumano beef, house pickles, and just-caught sashimi tell the story of the region’s generous nature. During this experience, you will visit two local bars, each showing a different side—one rooted in tradition, the other in modern creativity. Amid laughter and the aroma of charcoal and citrus, you’ll feel a community that welcomes travelers as temporary locals.
