Awesome Fishing Experience!
Shin was an outstanding guide with a great level of expertise and patience. Whether you’re new to fishing or have experience, he’ll guide you through every step and make sure you have a great time.
I got snagged a few times and even lost two of his lures, but Shin was incredibly helpful and kept everything fun and stress-free. The equipment was top-notch, and one of the best parts was getting to eat the fish we caught afterward.
If you’re looking for a knowledgeable, friendly, and professional fishing guide, I highly recommend booking with Shin. An unforgettable experience!
My friend and I are English speakers with very little Japanese, and Shin made the whole trip easy and enjoyable. Although he doesn’t speak fluent English, he was very understanding and communicated effectively with only a slight language barrier. He was on time for pickup, had all the equipment ready, and was helpful anytime we needed assistance.
The trip was well organized, and we had a great time even with the rainy weather. You’re limited to keeping five trout per person if you want to eat them, but you can catch and release as many as you’d like. Overall, it was a fun experience and I would highly recommend it.
This was super fun. Even though I almost died of heat but that's on me. Easy communication. Meet at hotel and quick trip out of town. Dope dude. A very fun and weird way to spend a day in Japan. Highly recommend and I've never fished before. Give it a shot! What are you actually doing with your life anyway. Oh. But don't throw the fish back when you catch them. You will get in trouble
