- Overview
-
- The tour will be guided by the friendly fisherman couple of Masao and Michiko Kawamata. Together, they operate their own company called Marumi Kobo which processes and sells various seafood products.
- Firstly, you will visit the fishing port of Taiki and ride on an actual fishing boat to experience the conditions faced daily by local fishermen. Tokachi fishermen set out to the Pacific Ocean from the early morning every day to bring in the day’s catch, sometimes facing harsh weather conditions at sea. *The fishing boat ride may be cancelled in case of inclement weather.After the fishing boat ride, you will go to Marumi Kobo and try preparing “kegani” horsehair crabs and other seasonal seafood under the guidance of Michiko Kawamata. Horsehair crabs have hard shells that may be difficult to crack, but you will surely get the hang of it quickly.After finishing up the horsehair crabs and other seafood, you can enjoy it in a bountiful seafood lunch prepared the way local fishermen enjoy it.
