This plan is perfect for guests who want to try fishing or take up fishing as a hobby, but don't know where to start. Our captain will provide thorough support, so even beginners and children can participate with confidence. (The target species is migratory fish such as red sea bream and Japanese Spanish mackerel.) Kotorimaru's fishing experience is a 360-degree ocean experience. This "aggressive fishing" experience allows you to encounter fish migrating in the open ocean, showcasing the seriousness and interaction of the fish as they strive to survive and sustain their species. Accessible by train! (Parking available.) Reservations are closed at half capacity, so there is ample room for guests, and support is provided, making it a safe and enjoyable experience for beginners and children. You can even participate empty-handed! This plan includes a reel set and tackle, so even those without fishing equipment can participate. We also offer a complimentary foam box for your fishing trip! ✰⋆｡:ﾟ･*☽:ﾟ･⋆｡✰⋆｡:ﾟ･*☽:ﾟ･⋆｡✰⋆｡:ﾟ･*☽If five or more people apply, the boat will be reserved for them. Enjoy the experience to the fullest with your friends and family. If three or fewer people apply, the boat will be a shared one*, but the small group size ensures a friendly atmosphere. You can also apply alone. *A shared boat is an operation style that allows people to easily participate alone and set sail with a variety of people. ~Experience Flow~ ① Meet! Good morning! Please meet at Higashi-Shiogama Station. For customers coming by car, there are parking space and number of cars available, so we will ask you about this when you make your reservation. ② We are setting sail! Let's get excited! We have thoroughly checked the safety of the boat. Once everyone is ready, we depart Shiogama! We leave the channel, taking in the views of Matsushima, and head out into the open sea! We aim for spots tailored to the target fish of the day, such as the southern direction favored by red sea bream, flounder, and bluefish, or the Kinkazan direction favored by bottom fish like rockfish and rockfish. (There's a cabin, so you can lie down and sleep on the boat! You can also set up your rod and reel! We also welcome you to stop and ask yourself, "What's that?" along the way!) ③ Arrive at the spot! Get the fish's attention! (Approximately 40 minutes after departure.) Don't forget your life jacket on deck! First-time customers will receive instruction on how to use fishing gear and how to fish. Fish to your heart's content. There is no designated fishing spot. Even if you've never met before, customers will get along well. We enjoy moving between locations that are easy to fish. ④ Move to another spot (as needed). Depending on the day, we move to a spot that suits the fish. We move to a spot as needed while checking the tides and currents. ⑤ Return to port! (Approximately 6-7 hours from the time we set sail.) Thank you for your hard work! On the way back, some people lie down and sleep, while others enjoy the scenery while packing up their fishing gear on the deck. Whether you're a satisfied customer or fired up for the next trip, please come again!

Why not try making "Kumiko" in Noshiro, the city of wood? Noshiro City, Akita Prefecture, is a town at the mouth of the Yoneshiro River, and has a convenient port for transporting felled Akita cedar. Lumber is exported domestically and overseas, and it was called "the No. 1 city of wood in the Orient". Even now, there are many wood-related companies in the city. We will assemble wooden "Kumiko parts" from scratch. There is some fine work, but the work of assembling them together is addictive! The finishing work using a file allows you to feel the pleasant scent of wood. *Wood material: Hiba You can choose from two types of "strap" with a diameter of about 5.6 cm and "coaster" with a diameter of about 10 cm (additional 500 yen). (If you would like a coaster, please select "Change to coaster" as an option) *Includes a souvenir of mineral water (500ml plastic bottle) collected from the World Natural Heritage site "Shirakami-Sanchi" and Noshiro's famous sweets. [About the experience venue] If the experience is held at a facility within the city, it will be located within walking distance (about 5 minutes) or inside the tourist information center.
