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.

Tosashimizu City has an area called "Usubae", which is famous as the only place in Japan where the Kuroshio Main Stream comes alongside .
