This family-friendly experience plan involves traveling to a fishing spot on Lake Hamana in a chartered boat and enjoying boat fishing.

We provide all the necessary equipment, such as fishing rods and tackle, so you can participate empty-handed!

For children and their guardians who are new to fishing, we will carefully explain how to use the equipment and how to fish before you board the boat.

The fishing method we'll be trying this time is "sabiki fishing," which is easy for beginners to enjoy. Since you don't need to directly touch the bait or cast the fishing rod far, even first-timers can easily give it a try.

We travel to the fishing grounds by boat and enjoy leisurely fishing at up to two different spots. One of the unique charms of boat fishing is being able to experience the nature of Lake Hamana up close during the journey.

During the evening hours, depending on the weather and time of year, you may be able to see the sunset over Lake Hamana while fishing or traveling.

Since the boat is chartered for a maximum of 4 people per group, you can enjoy a relaxing fishing trip with just your family or group.

*As this is an experience conducted in nature, we cannot guarantee that you will catch any fish. Also, the sunset may not be visible depending on the weather and time of year.
