Explore the riverside near the popular Escon Field ballpark and discover underwater creatures you wouldn't normally see! The Wattsu River is a 14.2-kilometer-long, first-class river that originates in Kamiwattsu, Kitahiroshima City, and flows into the Chitose River. The town of Kitahiroshima began in 1884, when 103 people from 25 households immigrated from Hiroshima Prefecture and settled along the river. While the area now boasts a waterfront environment, the river has witnessed the town's continued development. Rummaging through the undergrowth with a dip net, you'll encounter a variety of aquatic creatures. The river is just under 15 kilometers long, but its diverse habitat will surely pique your interest. Depending on the season, students studying aquatic life at a vocational school will also be available as guides, so be sure to ask them questions. You can learn about the rich water environment of Kitahiroshima and the Ishikari region, and enjoy our water activities as a project for elementary school students' independent research or as a way to safely enjoy playing near water. After the experience, you might also want to visit Escon Field Hokkaido, the ballpark of your dreams.

Maybe you can catch goby or mackerel on the breakwater in Ishikari City?! Even if you can't touch fish, you can rest assured because the guide will assist you! This plan is for beginners, and you can easily catch fish using sabiki rigs and blurs ^^ (We also have rigs other than sabiki!) On the breakwater in Ishikari, you can often see young mackerel swimming in groups. If you hit a school, you can catch a lot of them! They are young fish, but they are very satisfying to catch! In addition to mackerel, you can catch delicious fish such as goby and flounder. The fish you catch will be filleted and cooked on the spot! It is very delicious when fried. You can also take your catch home (^^)/ On the way home after fishing, please stop by tourist facilities and recommended spots that you can stop by and enjoy a fulfilling day.

This half-day experience plan is available only on weekdays and during the summer vacation period, and is based on the concept of fishing while using the fishing methods that the guide is good at. I think the best part of fishing is the excitement of casting the line to lure the fish, the feeling of resistance when you pull it, the thrill of setting the hook, and the sense of accomplishment when you catch a fish. However, if you try to do it by imitating what you see in the first introduction, you will often end up just waiting...I was one of those people, and now I work as a guide and write the explanations. I can understand how you feel, as you may feel hesitant to ask acquaintances or friends who know something, but you may also feel hesitant to try fishing alone. You may also have to think about what to do with the fish you catch. This plan is designed to be a prologue to your first fishing experience. Basically, there will be no other customers mixed in, so you can enjoy it without any hesitation. We will help you to fully enjoy the five and sixth senses you acquire through fishing, and lead you to the next step. We will cover the basics of fishing equipment, and use tools that are sold at 100 yen shops that everyone knows. Once you know what equipment you need, you can get everything you need on your own. We can also provide equipment if you wish. The trip takes place near Ishikari Bay New Port, close to Sapporo. Each guide has their own specialty, but we hope that you will enjoy the joy of catching a fish no matter what method you use. There are also famous restaurants nearby, such as Costco Ishikari, Sato Suisan Salmon Factory, and Ramen Shingen, so there is plenty to enjoy after fishing. We look forward to supporting your debut!!

This half-day experience, available only with same-day reservations, focuses on fishing while the guide uses his or her favorite fishing techniques. Sometimes the guide's time opens up unexpectedly, and the guide often enjoys the opportunity to scout locations and have fun with the fish. Rather than being hardcore fishing enthusiasts, the guide often enjoys letting the fish play with him or her. Perhaps it's just a desire to be tickled from time to time. The true joy of fishing is encapsulated in the excitement of casting the line and luring the fish, the feeling of the hook when you pull, the thrill of setting the hook, and the sense of accomplishment when you finally catch something. However, if you try to do it by imitating others during the initial introduction, you often end up just waiting. I was one of those people, even though I'm now a guide and writing this guide. It's easy to understand the hesitation of asking knowledgeable acquaintances or friends, and the hesitation of suddenly trying to fish alone. You'll also likely have to consider what to do with the fish you catch. This plan is designed as a prologue to your first fishing experience. Generally, you won't be surrounded by other customers, so you can enjoy your time without any worries. We'll help you fully develop your five and sixth senses through fishing, helping you take it to the next level. We'll cover the basics of fishing equipment, using tools that everyone knows and can find at 100-yen shops. Once you know the equipment, you can get it yourself. We can also provide equipment upon request. The trip will take place near Ishikari Bay New Port, near Sapporo. Each guide has their own specialty, but we hope you'll enjoy the joy of catching fish no matter what method you use.

The fishing spots are the Wattsu River in Kitahiroshima and the Izari River that flows through the city of Eniwa. Of course, fish live in the city. They can be found even in places where the river is narrow or shallow, making it seem like there would be no fish. Trees on the riverside block the sunlight, and cold water flows at your feet. Enjoy fishing in such places while escaping the summer heat. Use a long rod or a multipurpose rod and use earthworms as bait. If you are not good at touching insects or fish, don't worry, the guide will support you. The location is Eniwa City. It is the largest of the many tributaries that flow into the Chitose River, and its source is Gyōdake, with a length of 46.8 kilometers. The Izari River Dam is located upstream, about 15 kilometers from Eniwa city, relatively close to the urban area.
