Various fish species of Ashizuri - To the dream fishing spot

Horse mackerel, barracuda, shirogisu, black sea bream, gray sea bream, red sea bream, and soda bonito.

This alone will get you excited. Ashizuri is also home to large fish such as longtooth grouper and grouper, and large squid weighing over two kilograms can also be caught.

Ashizuri is famous as a dream destination for Japanese fishing enthusiasts , and is visited by many anglers from beginners to veterans. Many anglers have posted on YouTube, and it is full of videos that are perfect for image training.

Easy to enjoy "Chikko fishing" - First experience fishing on the embankment

Speaking of fishing in the Ashizuri area, the first thing that comes to mind is Chikko fishing . For those who enjoy sea fishing for the first time, it is the easiest way. "Chikko" means embankment fishing . Embankment fishing is called "Chikko" in this town. It's kind of cute, isn't it?

For example, to say that "the weather will be fine tomorrow, so let's go fishing on the embankment", we can say, "Ashita hareru kara Chikko ikou." Please master these words and enjoy Ashizuri fishing. Also, in the west end of Kochi, there is a saying, "Tsuri Ichi Kichi, Sakana Mocchi Kichi". This means "to fish and bring me fish". There are more than 10 Chikko points in Tosashimizu city , and it is very interesting to choose a place while listening to the direction of the wind and information from local anglers.

Fascinating surf fishing - the real pleasure of fishing woven by nature

The next thing you can enjoy is surf fishing. It is fishing on the shore connected to the land. The terrain underfoot is undeveloped and untouched by the waves. If you are a beginner, you may be a little worried, so it is recommended that you go with an experienced person . There are dangers, such as slippery footholds and sudden winds that push high waves, but the unspoiled terrain allows you to enjoy the outdoors. It is necessary to do some homework beforehand, such as emergency contact information and whether there is a toilet nearby, so be sure to be fully prepared before heading out.

The charm of surf fishing is that you can enjoy it deeply by being able to enjoy bargaining with the fish while considering not only the weather but also the ebb and flow of the tide and the seawater temperature.

In fact, there is a surf fishing point called "Secret Cove" on the premises of TheMana Village. It is a little-known spot that locals also secretly visit. Of course, the hotel staff also enjoys fishing here during breaks and holidays, so please feel free to ask. It takes about 10 minutes to walk from the entrance, so you don't have to worry about restrooms or breaks. Please contact the front desk staff for details.

The Fun of Boat Fishing - Adventures and Encounters in the High Seas

Boat fishing is a popular way to enjoy fishing at Ashizuri. With experience as a fish finder and captain, you can enjoy fishing in the vast ocean to your heart's content. On board, the fish you catch may be cooked on the spot for lunch. There is also the chance to see dolphins and whales offshore.

Tosashimizu City has an area called "Usubae", which is famous as the only place in Japan where the Kuroshio Main Stream comes alongside . Ashizuri is popular as a mecca for fishing because of the abundant blessings of the Kuroshio Current . It was also chosen as the stage for the famous Japanese TV drama "Tsuribaka Nisshi".

Boat fishing in Ashizuri is especially popular in offshore rocky areas.
If you use Tosashimizu City's ferry service, you will be taken to a rocky place and you can enjoy fishing to your heart's content all day long. If you are a beginner-intermediate, you can enjoy it with a reasonable plan while consulting with the captain. Heading to the sea and throwing a fishing rod in the middle of nature, the precipitous cliffs and green land behind you, the blue sky and blue sea will surely make you forget the fatigue of everyday life.
