Your Fishing Guide
Captain Daiki Tonda, fluent in both Japanese and English, has lived in Australia and Canada for several years. In his twenties, he traveled worldwide as a professional musician. Later, he established a successful English tutoring business, which now accommodates 1000 students, and has been thriving for over a decade.
In 2020, after obtaining a boat license, he found himself drawn to boat and kayak fishing around Awaji Island whenever weather conditions permitted. Then, in 2023, after acquiring his own 23 ft. fishing boat, he commenced guiding guests on fishing excursions.
On his boat, you can fish for a variety of species available each season and enjoy seasonal fish dishes.
