Introduction
I almost hesitate to recommend Wakasa Oshima, Fukui — 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 Mikuni Inkyojo —
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 Wakasa Oshima – Japan’s Hidden Gem 💎
Why highlight Wakasa Oshima for your Japan fishing trip? Because it blends the silence of the deep blue Sea of Japan
with authentic port life — a true hidden gem far from the neon lights of Tokyo.
- ✅ A quiet escape easily accessible from Kyoto and Osaka, yet worlds apart in atmosphere.
- ✅ Seasonal variety of species from Wakasa Bay (Red Seabream, Horse Mackerel, Squid) and a commitment to
absolute freshness. - ✅ A true “from sea to table” pipeline with trusted partner restaurants.
Fishing Experience – Step by Step 🎣
This time, we introduce Wakasa Oshima’s renowned Imoto Tosen (Imoto Ferry).
- 🛠️ Preparation – We provide all professional fishing gear and life
jackets. Everything is arranged so beginners can feel at ease. - 🎣 Cast Your Line – Drop your line into the Sea of Japan 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 Mikuni Inkyojo, 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. - 🍣 Japan-Style: From Sea to Table – Savor the freshest seafood within hours of being caught.
- 🥢 Cultural Experience – Enjoy Japanese food culture in a cozy local setting.
✨ 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 was nervous as it was my first time fishing in Japan, but the captain taught me like an old friend. I'll never
forget the cheer on the boat when I caught my first fish. The sashimi? It made every other fish I've eaten feel
fake."
— Benjamin (UK)
🗣️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
"I came here to escape the noise of Tokyo. The quiet time on the sea and the lively dinner afterwards... I felt like
part of a real Japanese family."
— Amelia (France)
🗣️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
"I wanted to teach my kids that fish don't swim as fillets. Seeing my son's serious face reeling in, and eating his
catch with pride—it's my best memory as a parent."

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.
