Activity
Experience fishing for ayu (sweetfish) using a traditional technique that is rare even in Japan.
You can experience the rare traditional fishing method called Ayu no Chongake, or sweetfish angling, in which a hook is attached to the tip of the road and pulled to catch fish. This method is easy for anyone to master, resulting in minimal damage to the fish.
You can also enjoy freshly caught salt-grilled sweetfish.
Nobeoka is well-known in Japan for having an abundance of ayu, or sweetfish. By the river, you can savor fresh, fatty sweetfish that has been salt grilled over charcoal. Enjoying ayu you caught yourself while taking in the gorgeous river views would definitely make the fish taste even better!
While waiting, you can have some free time to play in the water.
Playing in the river, sea kayaking, and SUP are available (paid on-site) in the stream, which is referred to as a miraculously transparent stream with great clarity. While you wait for your ayu (sweetfish) to be prepared, or even after you've eaten it, you can enjoy your free time in the water.
