Reviews

Had an amazing time fishing with Fishing Life Awaji - definitely one of the highlight of my Osaka/Kyoto trip. We headed out early in the morning and were catching some fish (red snippers, flathead) even we’re beginner. After that, we went back for a fresh, delicious lunch that made the whole experience even better.
Mr.Daiki was incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and made everything smooth and enjoyable.
Highly recommend to anyone visiting Osaka or Awaji!

Amazing fishing charter! Daiki Tonda was helpful and kind! Even made sashimi and nigiri with the fish after!!!
Came out from Tokyo to meet up with Daiki-san. I was dreaming about fishing in Awaji for so long and Captain Daiki for sure made my dream come true (and was waaaaaay over my expectations). With his accurate guide, very relaxing lodging experience, the food that Daiki cooks, it’s all top notch and a trip that I would recommend for all fishermen around the world!!
Had a great experience fishing with Fishing Life Awaji--it was the highlight of a first trip to Japan. We caught a few fish right away in the early morning and went back for sushi lunch. Daiki was knowledgeable and kind, and a great guide. Highly recommend!

Glad you enjoyed it. Hope to see you again.This was one of the most pleasant fishing experiences I have had on a charter boat. Captain Tonga was a very accommodating and friendly fishing guide. We fished multiple spots that day around the Osaka Bay. What a great day of fishing that was. Captain Tonga is also an accomplished chef. He masterfully prepared our catch of the day at the lodge. Could not get any fresher sushi than that. The communication was so easy and pleasant as the Captain spoke fluent English. I learned a lot about the island and local fishing culture. I highly recommend this charter.
