Catch It, Cook It, and Eat It Yourself in Ine.

Introduction

I almost hesitate to recommend Ine — not because it’s bad, but because it’s
too good. At dawn, a private boat named Herbie slips out from a quiet fishing village framed by traditional boathouses, and your story starts to write itself.
Once you taste a fish you caught yourself — served the very same day at a local restaurant overlooking the bay — ordinary meals back home will feel painfully bland.
This is where catch → deliver → savor happens in one seamless arc.
Not another checklist of famous spots — it’s a journey where you literally eat your own story.

Freshly caught fish in Fukui — dangerously delicious.

Why Visit Ine – Japan’s Hidden Gem

Why highlight Ine? Because it’s a small coastal village that most tourists skip — and that’s exactly why it feels unreal.

  • ✅ A quiet bay lined with wooden funaya boathouses, where daily life and the sea are literally one step apart.
  • ✅ A fully private charter on Herbie, so you’re not squeezed in with strangers or rushed through the experience.
  • ✅ A true “from sea to table” flow, with trusted partners in Ine who prepare your catch the same day.

Fishing Experience – Step by Step

This time, we introduce
Ine’s private charter Herbie.

  1. 🛠️
    Preparation
    We provide all fishing gear and life jackets.
    Everything is arranged so beginners and families can feel completely at ease.
  2. 🎣
    Cast Your Line
    Drift out from the boathouse-lined bay into the Sea of Japan
    and drop your line into calm, clear waters.

  3. The Rod Tip Shakes
    Feel that sharp tap as a fish takes the bait —
    the kind of jolt that makes you forget the rest of the world.
  4. 💪
    Reeling in Your Catch
    Savor the fight as you bring up red sea bream or rockfish on a single thin line,
    the boat cheering you on.
  5. 🍽️
    From Sea to Table
    Unlike typical tours, this trip connects fishing directly to dining:
    your catch is brought to a partner restaurant in Ine
    to be prepared that very day.

The thrill of reeling in the first catch of the day!

✨ This isn’t just fishing.
It’s an experience that lets you dive into discovery, learning,
and coastal Japan’s living traditions.

Eat Freshly Caught – From Sea to Table

This time, we introduce

the renowned restaurant Sushi Kappo WADATSUMI,
where top chefs prepare your freshly caught fish at peak freshness.

  • 👨‍🍳 From Sea to Kitchen
    The chef inspects your fish and decides how to bring out its best —
    sashimi, tempura, grilled, or simmered dishes.
  • 🍣 Japan-Style: From Sea to Table
    Savor seafood that was swimming in the Sea of Japan only hours earlier,
    now plated with refined technique.
  • 🥢 Cultural Experience
    Dine in a cozy local setting surrounded by Ine’s bay and boathouses,
    tasting not just food, but a way of life.

The freshest catch you've reeled in yourself is transformed into the finest meal by the finest chefs!

✨ Unforgettable Memories
Eating the fish you personally caught,
in the village where it was landed,
is a rare luxury you won’t find on standard group tours.


🗣️ Participant Feedback – Why This Experience is Chosen

🗣️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
“We booked Ine on a whim, thinking it would just be ‘a quiet day by the sea’.
On Herbie, the captain showed us how to hold the rod, and when our daughter finally hooked a red sea bream,
he shouted louder than we did.
That same fish later arrived as sashimi at WADATSUMI with a little note:
‘Caught by Mia’. She took a photo before tasting it and said, ‘I’m never forgetting this.’
It wasn’t just a meal — it was her proudest moment of the whole Japan trip.”
— Laura & family (UK)

🗣️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
“For our anniversary we wanted something real, not another city rooftop bar.
On the boat it was just us, the captain, and the sound of the water.
My partner hooked the biggest fish of the day,
and that evening at WADATSUMI the chef quietly placed a beautiful dish in front of him and said,
‘This is your catch.’ He just stared at it and laughed.
We didn’t buy an expensive ring this year — we bought this memory instead.
No regrets.”
— Marco & Elena (Italy)

🗣️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
“I travel solo a lot, and many tours make you feel like a headcount. This one didn’t.
The captain chatted with me about Ine’s history while we waited for bites.
When my first fish came up, everyone on board reacted like old friends.
At dinner, eating my own catch with the boathouses glowing outside the window,
I realized this was the first time on this trip I truly felt connected to Japan,
not just passing through it.”
— Daniel (USA)
