Enjoy a relaxing fishing experience at a village-run fishing pond surrounded by the mountains of Tabayama. Catch your own fish and experience a simple countryside activity enjoyed by local visitors. Kei will arrange admission and fishing equipment, making it easy even for first-time anglers. After you catch your fish, it will be prepared and grilled for you. The grilling process takes approximately one hour, giving you time to slow down and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere of rural Japan. Take a walk along the nearby river, explore the surrounding area, enjoy the mountain scenery, take photos, or simply relax and enjoy a quiet moment away from the crowds of Tokyo. When your fish is ready, return to enjoy a freshly grilled meal that you caught yourself. Rather than rushing from one activity to another, this experience lets you enjoy the slower pace of life that makes Tabayama Village special.
