[COMING SOON] Big-game fishing in Miyagi

Experience catching big-game fish off the coast of Miyagi!

Highlights

The waters off the coast of Miyagi Prefecture are some of the most popular for big-game fishing in all of Japan, with many avid fishermen traveling from around the country to participate in sports-fishing tournaments and events. Depending on the season and conditions, big-game fish like Swordfish, Yellow-fun Tuna and even Black Marlin are frequently caught by locals and visitors alike. Including catch-and-release, over 175 Swordfish and Black Marlin were caught in 2019 alone.

At local boathouse ‘Kuroshio’ Kitahama Marine Base, you can jump aboard a yacht with some regulars or opt to hire a yacht and skipper for private use. 

Spend a day on the open water battling with some big-game beauties as you take in views of Matsushima Bay and the majestic Mt. Kinkasan and Oshika Peninsula in the distance. 

Opt to catch and release or bring your game back to shore to enjoy for dinner!

This plan is fully customisable by request. Please inquire for further details regarding pricing and options.
