What is the traditional fishing method “Gochiami fishing”?

"Gochiami fishing" is one of Japan's traditional fishing methods, and refers to the method of catching specific fish with a net. One of the characteristics of this method is that the fish can be caught in as short as 15 minutes after the net is cast, allowing the fish to remain fresh without weakening. The fishing season is open for a limited time from spring to fall (April 20th to November 30th) every year.

Tour the fishing nets in the Seto Inland Sea! Real fisherman experience

This tour allows you to experience a real fisherman's scene. Since you will be traveling on a separate boat, you will be able to see the fishermen's work in comfort without getting wet, and enjoy a live experience that is different from what you would get on a sightseeing boat. It is also recommended as a study tour on environmental issues, resource issues, etc.!

In this way, you can observe the fishermen's scene from another boat.

After the tour, enjoy a local gourmet red sea bream lunch!

Experience armor at the Murakami Pirate Museum

A 1-minute walk from the tour departure point is the Murakami Pirate Museum, Japan's only pirate-themed museum. This is a museum where you can enjoy learning about the story of Murakami Kaizoku, who is also a Japanese heritage site, and the museum exhibits many valuable historical and cultural materials related to Murakami Kaizoku. We also recommend the armor-wearing experience that you can participate in inside the museum. There is no doubt that you will be excited when you wear the authentic specifications. You can also take photos freely, so it will be a great souvenir.
