Held from spring to autumn Fishing for Japanese eels in the brackish waters of rivers Part 1: 8:00-10:30 Part 2: 10:30-13:00 Part 3: 13:30-16:00 Part 4: 16:00-18:30 This is a tour to fish for eels at the mouths of rivers that run through Tokyo. Japanese eels are born in the western waters of the Mariana Islands. They grow in rivers not only in Japan but also in East Asia, including China, Taiwan, and the Korean Peninsula, and are known to return to the Mariana Islands to spawn. Japanese eels (Anguilla japonica), which belong to the Anguilla genus of the eel family, are widely distributed in East Asia, including Japan, China, Taiwan, and Korea. In Japan, they mainly live south of Honshu, but there have been cases of them being caught in Hokkaido. Rental tackle, fishing rod, and equipment are included, so you can participate empty-handed. Two patterns of fishing will be done: casting fishing and plastic bottle tackle fishing, using earthworms as bait. While waiting for the tackle, you can fish for goby at your feet. The main target is eels, but sometimes you can also catch goby, crabs, and seigo. The tour lasts about 3 hours. Please bring a headlamp, a handy light, and drinks. *If you want to take the fish home, please bring an aeration device (battery-powered bubbler) to prevent oxygen deficiency, a plastic case or fishing bucket to prevent escape, and a cooler box. By train: 15 minutes walk from JR Joban Line or Tokyo Metro Chiyoda Line By car: Please use a nearby parking lot Meeting place: Near the Seven-Eleven Katsushika Kosuge 1-chome store. We will send you a map in advance, so please walk to the point. Migration of Japanese eels Japanese eels spawn in the summer in the waters west of the Mariana Islands in the Pacific Ocean. After hatching, they become willow-leaf-shaped larvae called leptocephalus. Glass eels are carried by ocean currents and reach East Asia in about six months, then transform into long, cylindrical glass eels and ride the high tide into rivers. After that, their transparent bodies start to take on color, and they are called yellow eels. During the yellow eel stage, eels grow large, and eat a variety of foods, including shrimp, crabs, small fish, and insects. The environment in which Japanese eels spend their growth period is wide, from coastal areas to the upper reaches of rivers, and includes not only freshwater areas but also brackish water and seawater. After several years to a dozen years, when they grow to a size of about 40 cm or more for males and about 50 cm or more for females, they begin to mature and are called silver eels. Silver eels leave their familiar rivers and coastal areas and travel to spawning grounds from autumn to winter. They reach the spawning grounds in the Marianas in about six months, spawn, and then end their life. PS: The minimum number of participants is 5 or more.

Handmade bangles at the jewelry shop "garden Himeji". They can be easily made in less than an hour and taken home on the same day. The price is reasonable, so we recommend stopping by during a date or trip to create memories just for the two of you. Instead of buying a ready-made bangle, why not make a special, handmade bangle that you can't find anywhere else? ~Experience process~ ① Meeting/reception We will make it by hand in the calm and stylish space of a bridal jewelry specialty store♪ ② Preparation First, choose the material (silver/brass), size, and finish design. ③ Experience We will use a file to round the corners of the straight metal. We will use a special tool to round the metal. This is the most difficult step, but it's fun to watch the bangle gradually take shape. Finally, use a mallet to shape it and it's complete. ④ End/disbandment Although it's all tools that you'll be using for the first time, the staff will support you so you can make it with confidence. After you're done, you can take a commemorative photo in the photo booth in the store. The photo you took will be a gift♪

Rating 5.0

I had an amazing time taking this glass blowing class. I did this solo and it ended up being one of the highlights of my trip. Shiraishi, the owner and instructor, was incredibly patient and gave clear instructions, even with the language barrier. I got to choose my own colors and design, which made the experience feel really personal. It was my first time doing anything like this, but it was super beginner-friendly and so much fun. Walking away with a handmade souvenir that I created myself felt really special. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a unique and memorable experience!
