Introduction
I almost hesitate to recommend Atami — not because it’s bad, but because it’s
too good. In the morning, the air carries a salty edge as the harbor wakes up, and your thoughts sharpen.
Once you taste a fish you caught yourself — served the very same day in town — ordinary meals back home may never hit the same.
This is where catch → deliver → savor becomes one clean arc.
Not another “must-see checklist” — it’s a story you literally get to eat.
Why Visit Atami – A Famous Hot-Spring Town with a Local Secret
Yes, Atami is well-known — but most visitors stop at hot springs and seaside walks.
Here’s the insider twist: Atami can be a “sea-to-table” city in a single day, where your morning becomes your dinner.
- ✅ Easy access from major cities, with a real working harbor close to town
- ✅ A rare mix of hot-spring comfort and authentic fishing culture
- ✅ You don’t just eat local seafood — you eat your seafood
Fishing Experience – Step by Step
This time, we introduce Atami’s renowned Atami No.10 Kikumaru.
- 🛠️ Preparation – We provide all gear and life jackets. Everything is arranged so beginners can feel at ease.
- 🎣 Cast Your Line – Drop your line into the sea and wait for the thrill of your first fish taking the bait.
- ✨ The Rod Tip Shakes – Feel the excitement as a fish takes the bait, transmitted through the rod.
- 💪 Reeling in Your Catch – Savor the moment when you subdue a fiercely fighting fish on a single thin line.
- 🍽️ From Sea to Table – Unlike typical tours, I bridge fishing and dining. Your catch goes to partner restaurants.
✨ This isn’t just fishing.
It’s an experience where you can fully immerse yourself in discovery, learning, and Japanese tradition.
Eat Freshly Caught – From Sea to Table
This time, we introduce
the renowned restaurant Sushi-Chu, where top chefs prepare your freshly caught fish with exceptional freshness. .

✨ Unforgettable Memories – Eat fish you caught yourself, fresh that very day. This “catch and savor” experience is truly special and impossible to find on regular tours.
🗣️ Participant Feedback – Why This Experience is Chosen
🗣️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I remember the exact second my rod tip tapped — not a dramatic bend, just a tiny “hello” from the sea.
The captain quietly said one word, “Now,” and my hands moved before my brain did.
Later that evening, when the first sashimi plate arrived, it felt unreal:
this was the same fish that made my arms shake a few hours ago.
I didn’t just eat dinner — I ate the moment I caught it.
— Hannah (USA)
🗣️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
We came to Atami for hot springs… and accidentally found our favorite memory in Japan.
My partner kept laughing every time the line tightened, and I kept thinking, “This is what a real trip feels like.”
At Sushi-Chu, the chef served our fish in a way that made it look almost too beautiful to touch.
We sat there in silence for a second — then both smiled like kids.
— Marco & Elina (Italy)
🗣️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
The best part wasn’t even the catch — it was the “after.”
Walking back through Atami at night, the warm lights on the street and the sea breeze felt like the perfect ending to a story.
I’ve eaten at amazing restaurants in Japan, but this was different:
the meal had a heartbeat — because we brought the sea to the table ourselves.
— Noah (Australia)

Why Leave Booking & Language Support to Me
Most Japanese fishing boats accept reservations only in Japanese.
Partner restaurants typically do not list “cook-your-catch” courses on public menus.
That’s why I handle direct negotiations and arrangements for a seamless experience.
- ✅ I contact the captain directly in Japanese to secure your spot.
- ✅ Before departure, we will carefully explain the detailed procedures for the day, so you can set off without any worries.
- ✅ This isn't just booking. I know the captains, safe boats, and restaurants that genuinely welcome international guests.
- ✅ If weather cancels fishing, I'll suggest alternative sightseeing options in the area so you don't waste your day.
- ✅ And most importantly: I’m the only guide in Japan specializing in fishing + dining packages for foreign tourists.

"I’ve traveled all over Japan, but this was the only place that paired fishing with a real meal experience.
When I mentioned I wanted to stay overnight, they even introduced me to a place where I could…
The soft rhythm of the waves and a sky scattered with glittering stars — that night still feels vivid, carved into my memory like something I’ll never lose."
— Liam (USA)
