This tour is a day trip to explores the story of Japan's Jewish community, while simultaneously teaching you about Japan and its history. Placing into context the interactions between cultures. During the tour, you will be joined by two guides. One is a Dutch professor of International Law at a nearby public university. The other is a PhD candidate in the humanities. During the tour, we will particularly focus on the community rescued by Imperial Japanese ambassador Chiune Sugihara, awarded Righteous Among the Nations for his actions during the Second World War.

During this day trip we will visit the Port of Humanity, and its associated museum, the point of disembarkation for Jewish refugees fleeing Europe.
