Introduction
I almost hesitate to recommend Yokohama’s Kanazawa-Hakkei — 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 — cooked that same day after returning to Kanazawa-Hakkei — 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 literally eat your own story.
Why Visit Yokohama & Kanazawa-Hakkei – Japan’s Hidden Coastal Gem
Why highlight Kanazawa-Hakkei? Because it blends a relaxed seaside neighborhood with easy big-city access — a quietly brilliant spot most foreign visitors never see.
- ✅ Just under an hour from central Tokyo, yet it feels like a local fishing town
- ✅ A variety of in-season species in Tokyo Bay, with ports, station, and dining all close together
- ✅ A true “from sea to table” pipeline with trusted partner restaurant FRYING FISH
Fishing Experience – Step by Step
This time, we introduce Yokohama’s renowned Kurokazumaru.
- 🛠️ Preparation – We provide all gear and life jackets. Everything is arranged so beginners can feel at ease.
- 🎣 Cast Your Line – Drop your line into Tokyo Bay 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 seaside tradition.
Eat Freshly Caught – From Sea to Table
This time, we introduce the renowned restaurant FRYING FISH, 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, fried dishes, grilled plates, or hearty soup.
- 🍣 Japan-Style: From Sea to Table – Savor the freshest seafood within hours of being caught in Tokyo Bay.
- 🥢 Cultural Experience – Enjoy Japanese food culture in a cozy, local standing-bar style setting just minutes from the port.
✨ 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 about navigating trains and boats in a language I don’t speak, but the photo-based meeting guide made everything simple.
When I finally felt the rod bend and the captain laughed, ‘That’s the champion of the day!,’ I realized this wasn’t just sightseeing — it was my story in Japan.”
— Mary (USA)
🗣️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
“Growing up in London, I loved fish & chips — but I had never imagined catching the fish myself.
When our first plate arrived at FRYING FISH, my partner and I just looked at each other and said,
‘There’s no way we can explain this to our friends back home.’
It felt like we’d discovered a secret chapter of Tokyo Bay that only locals usually see.”
— Thomas & Emily (UK)
🗣️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
“I wanted my son, who has Japanese roots, to see the ‘ocean side’ of Japan.
After fishing, we brought our catch to FRYING FISH. When his own mackerel arrived at the table, he whispered,
‘Dad… this really is the fish I caught, right?’ and kept staring at it with a huge smile.
That one plate said more about Japan than any guidebook ever could.”
— Kevin (Canada)

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.
