Discover Noboribetsu’s best-kept fishing secrets, guided by a local-born expert who knows every bend of these hidden streams.
This easygoing fishing experience takes you to secluded spots known only to locals—peaceful places surrounded by nature, perfect for beginners, couples, and families.
We fish according to the season, chasing native trout such as rainbow trout, iwana, and yamame from spring through autumn. This is not a competitive tour, but a relaxing way to enjoy the rhythm of the river. All fishing is catch-and-release, respecting the environment and protecting the area’s fragile ecosystem.
Come and experience Noboribetsu’s serene side—with a rod in hand and nature all around you.
