Introduction
I almost hesitate to recommend Numazu (Nishiura, Enashi) — not because it’s bad, but because it’s
too good. Before sunrise, the air tastes of salt and cedar, and the harbor feels like it’s holding its breath.
Your hands tighten around the rod as the engine hums — not loud, just steady, like a heartbeat.
Once you taste a fish you caught yourself — plated the very same day — 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 Shizuoka (Numazu / Nishiura) – Japan’s Hidden Gem
Why highlight Numazu’s Nishiura coast? Because it’s the kind of Japan most visitors never touch — a working harbor,
a quiet bay, and a sea-to-table rhythm that locals treat as normal.
- ✅ A real port community — not built for tourism, but welcoming when you arrive respectfully
- ✅ A “same-day” pipeline: what you hook in the morning can be on your plate by afternoon
- ✅ A deeply Japanese kind of luxury: freshness measured in hours, not in price tags
Fishing Experience – Step by Step
This time, we introduce Shizuoka’s renowned Shinsho-maru.
-
🛠️ Preparation – We provide all gear and life jackets.
Everything is arranged so beginners can feel at ease. -
🎣 Cast Your Line – Drop your line into Suruga 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 tradition.
Eat Freshly Caught – From Sea to Table
This time, we introduce
the renowned restaurant Koushoumaru Shokudo, 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 arrived at the port clutching my phone, rehearsing a few Japanese phrases… and then panicked and forgot all of them.
The captain just smiled, pointed to the horizon, and mimed “drop here.”
Ten minutes later, the rod tip flicked — so small I thought it was the current — then it pulsed again, unmistakably alive.
My hands started shaking as I reeled, and when the fish finally surfaced, everyone on the boat cheered like we were old friends.
At lunch, when that same fish appeared as sashimi, I honestly went silent.
It didn’t taste like “good seafood.” It tasted like a morning I’ll remember for years.
— Lina (Sweden)
🗣️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Our daughter was scared to touch anything slimy, so she stayed behind me at first.
But the moment the rod bent, she grabbed my sleeve and whispered, “Is it really ours?”
When we brought the catch to the restaurant, she kept repeating, “Please don’t let it disappear.”
Then the dishes arrived — sashimi shining like glass, a warm grilled plate, a simple soup that smelled like the sea.
She took one bite, looked up with wide eyes, and said, “I can taste the ocean.”
That sentence became our favorite souvenir from Japan.
— Mateo & Hana (Singapore)
🗣️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I’ve eaten at famous sushi counters. None of them prepared me for this.
Because when the chef placed the plate down, I could still feel the tug of the line in my wrist.
The knife work was quiet, precise — and suddenly the whole day “clicked” into place:
sea → hands → kitchen → table.
I didn’t just eat fish. I ate the timeline of my own morning.

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 across Japan, but this was the only experience that truly fused fishing and dining into one story.
When I mentioned I wanted to stay overnight, they somehow helped me find a place where I could…
The slow rhythm of the waves and a sky packed with glittering stars — that night still feels close, like it’s tucked safely inside my memory."
— Caleb (USA)
