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.
