Our fishing trip to Japan was absolutely incredible! We are so grateful to learn how to fish in Japan with amazing people to teach us. Fishing in Japan can be intimidating at first, but we learned many tips for fishing from our friends at Sany fishing. Come with us as we travel to Japan to go fishing for the first time ever! We learned some new japanese fishing methods, visited huge tackle shops, and even caught our own fish to eat for a delicious sushi dinner!

We are so grateful to our fishing captain on the Marujyu-Maru fishing charter boat for giving us such a fun fishing experience. We also want to say thank you to the chefs at Sushi Izakaya for preparing our fresh catch into sushi! We have never had so much delicious fish presented to us this way. The fresh sushi made from our fish that we caught on the boat was such a delight.

Stay tuned for more fishing in Japan on our channel 🇯🇵
