Why You Should Never Visit Kyoto for Temples

Because the Real Kyoto Lives by the Sea, Where You Catch and Eat Your Own Story.
Table of Contents
Introduction
I almost hesitate to recommend Kyoto–Miyazu — not because it’s bad, but because it’s
too good.
At dawn, the port air blends briny scents with the gentle thrum of engines, and your pulse quickens.
Once you taste a fish you caught yourself — plated that very evening — ordinary meals back home will feel underwhelming.
This is 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 Kyoto–Miyazu – Japan’s Hidden Gem
Why spotlight Kyoto–Miyazu?
Because it distills quiet harbors, short runs to rich fishing grounds, and a seamless handoff to the kitchen — an under-the-radar sweet spot.
- ✅ Short travel from port to grounds (about 10 minutes) so you spend time fishing, not commuting
- ✅ Family-friendly bay conditions that welcome first-timers
- ✅ A true “from sea to table” pipeline with a trusted on-site partner restaurant
Fishing Experience – Step by Step
This time, we introduce Kyoto–Miyazu’s renowned TIDANESIA.
- 🛠️ 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 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 Japonesima,
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 don’t speak Japanese, but from the harbor meetup to boarding, I felt looked after.
When the rod bent and a silver flash broke the surface, the captain cheered — and so did I.
That single moment became the headline of my trip.

🗣️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
“Are they really cooking my fish?” my son asked, pointing to the kitchen at Japonesima.
A few minutes later the steam, the knife work, and his grin said everything.
Not only did we eat dinner—we savored the very memories we had created together with our precious family.
— Oliver & Mia (Australia)
🗣️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
At dusk, our fillets met citrus and a whisper of salt.
Glasses clinked, the bay quieted, and we let the evening linger.
Back home, I haven’t been able to look at “regular sushi” the same way!!

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.
- ✅ I explain all procedures before departure, so you can set off with peace of mind.
- ✅ I know captains, safe boats, and restaurants that truly welcome international guests.
- ✅ If the weather cancels fishing, I’ll suggest alternative sightseeing options nearby.
- ✅ I’m the only guide in Japan specializing in fishing + dining packages for foreign visitors.

I’ve traveled across Japan, but this was the only place that paired fishing with a crafted meal.
When I mentioned staying overnight, they even guided me to a spot where I could...
