Tuna show and seafood highlights

If the tuna demonstration is your main reason for going, choose November 1. The announcement gives a specific start time for this activity and mentions a special fresh-tuna sale. It does not provide prices or quantities.

The celebration advertises 13 attractions in total. The named highlights are listed below; a complete timetable is not included in the available information.

Before making a special trip for the crab buffet or bonito, check the official anniversary notice and venue updates. The information available does not establish that these offers are free or available without a dining purchase.

Getting there and planning your stop
