A bubble will be required for the fish. The start and next time will change depending on the time of low tide, so please be sure to check before coming to the meeting place.

We will experience scavenging in a small river about 2km upstream from Akiya Coast, but it is shallow and has clean water. Since the rocks are exposed in places, it is slippery, so marine shoes are essential for this tour. (Free rental of idiot boots from autumn to spring) We plan to head upstream for about 1.5 hours in a swimsuit and marine shoes while being explained about the creatures. We plan to search for river crabs and mitten crabs, mainly scavenger goby, flat shrimp, and snake black dragonfly larvae in the rock river. The meeting place is Akiya bus stop, and there is a parking lot nearby, but it is expected to be crowded, so we recommend coming by train and bus. We look forward to your participation. What to bring: Marine shoes (from the end of March to October), swimsuit, rash guard, spats, drinks, hat, rucksack, plastic case for taking home + bubble (battery-powered oxygen supply machine) What you need to prepare: Idiot boots (from November to mid-March), net, storage bucket That's all.
