Introduction
I almost hesitate to recommend Shimane — not because it’s bad, but because it’s
too good. At dawn, the port air mixes briny scents with the purr of boat engines, and your pulse quickens.
Once you taste a fish you caught yourself — plated the very same evening in Hagi Komachi —
ordinary meals back home will feel underwhelming.
This is a place where catch → deliver → savor happens in a single arc.
Not another “famous restaurant crawl” — it’s a journey where you eat your own story.
Why Visit Shimane – Japan’s Hidden Gem ⛩️
Why highlight Shimane? Because it blends ancient traditions with untouched nature, a true hidden gem far from these
crowds.
- ✅ Peaceful and uncrowded compared to Tokyo or Kyoto
- ✅ Seasonal variety of species and a city built to keep freshness intact
- ✅ A true “from sea to table” pipeline with trusted partner restaurants
Fishing Experience – Step by Step 🎣
This time, we introduce Shimane’s renowned KAIKYO.
- 🛠️ 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 deep blue Sea of Japan
and wait for the thrill of your first fish taking the bait. - ✨ The Rod Tip Shakes – Feel the excitement as a massive Kingfish or
Yellowtail takes the bait, transmitted straight through the rod. - 💪 Reeling in Your Catch – Savor the moment when you subdue a
fiercely fighting fish on a single thin line, guided by the captain's expertise. - 🍽️ 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 Hagi Komachi, where top chefs
prepare your freshly caught fish with exceptional freshness. .
- 👨🍳 From Sea to Kitchen – The chef inspects the fish and prepares it as sashimi, grilled
dishes, or soup, treating it like a piece of art. - 🍣 Japan-Style: From Sea to Table – Savor the freshest seafood within hours of being caught.
The transparent flesh and crisp texture are proof of its quality. - 🥢 Cultural Experience – Enjoy Japanese food culture in a cozy local setting, perhaps gazing at
the sunset over the sea.
✨ 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've eaten sushi many times, but the taste of the fish I caught myself was on another level. The captain of KAIKYO
taught us how to respect the life of the fish. Dinner at Hagi Komachi felt like a ceremony honoring the Sea of
Japan, not just a meal."
— Liam (Australia)
🗣️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
"The look in my 10-year-old son's eyes when he caught his first big fish! That alone was worth the trip. He usually
plays video games, but he was trying so hard to talk to the captain in English and gestures. It was a magical day
that deepened our family bond."
— Sophia (France)
🗣️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
"The crisp morning air, the rough yet beautiful Sea of Japan. I felt like I saw the real Japan, away from the
tourist crowds. The Kingfish shabu-shabu at dinner melted in my mouth. I can't go back to frozen fish anymore!
(laughs)"

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.
