Tokyo Catch-and-Cook Fishing Charter — Fresh-Catch Cuisine & Mount Fuji Views
Board a guided fishing charter from Tokyo into Sagami Bay, learn hands-on techniques, then eat what you catch—often with Mount Fuji and Enoshima on the horizon. Early pickup and full instruction make this beginner-friendly, catch-and-cook day both accessible and memorable.
The Experience
Before You Go
Bring motion-sickness gear
Even with calm mornings, the bay can get choppy; bring pills or patches if you’re prone to seasickness.
Layer for changing conditions
Temperatures shift quickly on the water—pack a light waterproof jacket and an insulating mid-layer.
Protect from sun
Reflected sunlight off the water increases UV exposure—sunscreen, sunglasses, and a brimmed hat help.
Keep coolers small
If you plan to keep fish, bring a small cooler or use the provided storage and confirm limits with crew.

Sagami Bay supplied fish to Edo markets for centuries; coastal fishing villages evolved techniques and cuisine that feed Tokyo’s seafood traditions today.
