Overview

Begin your tour at the Kehi Jingu Shrine, one of Japan’s three great torii gates. Walk under the massive wooden structure and explore a serene forested shrine complex.

Continue to the Tsuruga Red Brick Warehouse, a beautifully preserved site that now hosts cafés, local art shops, and maritime exhibits. Enjoy a relaxing stroll along the waterfront with sea breezes and a view of passing ships.

Next, learn about Tsuruga's unique role as a humanitarian gateway at the Port of Humanity Tsuruga Museum. Hear the inspiring storey of Jewish refugees who arrived here during WWII thanks to Chiune Sugihara’s transit visas.

Finish with a visit to the Tsuruga Fish Market or a local seafood restaurant to enjoy specialities like grilled mackerel (saba) or seasonal crab, caught fresh from the Sea of Japan.
