Stop Eating Old Fish in Tokyo: Catch Your Own in Miura

Sea to Table

Join Setomaru for a beginner-friendly fishing tour and a fresh seafood feast at Misaki Port Kura.

Introduction

I almost hesitate to recommend Miura Peninsula fishing — not because it’s bad, but because it’s
too good. At dawn, the port air at Matsuwa fills with briny scents and the purr of fishing boat engines,
making your pulse quicken.
Once you taste a fish you caught yourself — plated the very same evening in Misaki Port Kura
— 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” in Tokyo — it’s a journey where you eat your own story in an authentic
Japanese fishing village.

Why Visit Miura Peninsula – Japan’s Hidden Gem 💎

Why highlight Miura Peninsula for your Japan travel itinerary? Because it blends a locals' secret vibe with world-class
fresh seafood.

• ✅ Easy Access from Tokyo: Just 90 minutes from the city center, yet a world away from the
  noise, often offering stunning views of Mount Fuji.
• ✅ Legendary Seafood: Home to "Matsuwa Mackerel" and "Kenzaki Red Sea Bream" — premium brands
  that top Tokyo chefs covet.
• ✅ Authentic Experience: A true “from sea to table” pipeline with trusted partner restaurants,
  far removed from mass tourism.

Fishing Experience – Step by Step 🎣

This time, we introduce Miura's renowned fishing boat Setomaru.

1. 🛠️ Preparation – We provide all necessary fishing gear and life
   jackets. Everything is arranged so beginners can feel at ease. Just show up at the port!
2. 🎣 Cast Your Line – Drop your line into the deep, nutrient-rich
   waters of Kenzaki and wait for the thrill of your first fish taking the bait.
3. ✨ The Rod Tip Shakes – Feel the excitement as a fish takes the bait,
   transmitted directly through the rod. It's an electric sensation you won't forget!
4. 💪 Reeling in Your Catch – Savor the moment when you subdue a
   fiercely fighting fish on a single thin line. The captain will cheer you on every step of the way.
5. 🍽️ From Sea to Table – Unlike typical fishing tours, I bridge the
   gap between fishing and dining. Your fresh catch goes directly to partner restaurants for a feast.

✨ This isn’t just fishing. It’s an immersive experience where you discover, learn, and dive deep
into Japanese maritime tradition.

Eat Freshly Caught – From Sea to Table

This time, we introduce the renowned restaurant Misaki Port Kura, where top chefs
prepare your freshly caught fish with exceptional skill. .

• 👨🍳 From Sea to Kitchen – The chef inspects the fish and prepares it as sashimi, grilled
  dishes, or soup. It's like handing over a treasure.
• 🍣 Japan-Style: From Sea to Table – Savor the freshest seafood within hours of being caught.
  The texture and umami are unlike anything you've experienced in a standard sushi restaurant.
• 🥢 Cultural Experience – Enjoy Japanese food culture in a cozy local setting, inside a
  renovated 100-year-old traditional warehouse ("Kura").

✨ 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

🗣️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
"Fishing? Boring." That's what I thought until my rod bent in half! The adrenaline was insane. And eating the fish I
caught at Misaki Port Kura? Best sushi of my life, hands down. It puts every other seafood meal to shame.
— Jessica (USA)

🗣️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I was tired of Tokyo's neon lights. Miura was the perfect escape. Seeing Mount Fuji from the boat was magical, and
the captain was so warm despite the language barrier. The simmered sea bream tasted like a home-cooked meal full of
love.
— Marco (Italy)

🗣️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️
The look on my 7-year-old daughter's face when she caught her first fish! Priceless. The guide handled all the
tricky parts, so we could just enjoy the moment. A perfect family day out in Japan.
— Sarah & Family (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.
