About the Experience
Katsushika Hokusai, the world-renowned ukiyo-e artist, lived in Uraga from 1834 to 1836, spending part of his time at Shinpuku-ji Temple on the outskirts of the town. During that era, Uraga was a thriving port—the maritime gateway to Edo—where ships, goods, and people from all over Japan converged. It was here that Hokusai observed the sea, the bustling ships, the vibrant crowds, and the distant peak of Mount Fuji.
