Raft fishing

Departure from Chatan Town

Try your hand at fishing from a raft off Araha, set up by the Chatan Fisheries Cooperative. The raft is  large enough to accommodate up to 40 people, participants rarely complain of seasickness. You can show up empty-handed and join in the fishing, as equipment rental (including rod, reel, lure and bait) is included in the price. A variety of fish ranging from horse mackerel to damselfish (suzumedai) can be caught. Enjoy the sights on the peaceful sea, away from the hustle and bustle of the city.
