    Kii Katsuura to Nara

    April 13 in Japan ⋅ ☁️ 21 °C

    Got up early for our tuna auction tour. Kii Katsuura produces the largest catch of tuna in Japan. We saw them auction 1500 tuna, there were 2 auctions that day; yellow tail, blue fin, big eye, albacore, and 2 swordfish. It was quite the spectacle.
    After a delicious tuna lunch we strolled around town a little and trained it to Nara.
    Highly recommend a visit to this quiet fishing village.
    Didn't get to our hotel until 7ish. We're in a great location. We walked out neighborhood and found a tasty meal.    Read more
