Fishing at Sea

Regular: about 7:15–11:30
Friday: until 12:30 (longer fishing time, more fish species)

There’s nothing quite like fishing while gazing out at the vast ocean.

The trick to a great haul is to imagine the depth and make your bait look lively. Don’t panic if a big fish bites; reel it in slowly and steadily.

First fish! Nice catch!

The fish you catch yourself is always incredibly fresh and offers a truly exceptional flavor that’s unlike anything else.

★Tan (USA)

There was a pick-up service and I was happy to be kind to beginners.

★Shou (Hong Kong)

This was my second time joining, and I caught even more fish than the first time. The staff provided clear and patient fishing instructions, and their warm and friendly attitude made the experience enjoyable from start to finish.

★Richard (USA)

Absolutely fantastic, easy and well organized! Will be there again in October. Went with my son, and Su-san (instructor) was very good.

★Tyrone (The Netherlands)

We’ve had an amazing trip with the friendliest guide you can find ! He wasn’t just helpful during the fishing but really took the time to teach you how the fishing works. The service and pick up at the hotel were great After the fishing you get taken to a really nice restaurant with friendly staff who prepare your freshly caught fish in multiple delicious dishes while the guide takes his time explaining every dish. After the food the guide drops you back off at the hotel. Out of all the things we’ve done in Japan this was definitely one of the best trips!
