I am grateful to the friendly staff
We used this as an activity for a company trip with about 5 people. After making the reservation, we exchanged various questions by email, but they were very smooth and helpful. While we could hear happy voices saying things like "We caught one!" from the other houses, our house couldn't catch anything...lol It was nice to have the opportunity to try drilling a hole outside the house for a change of pace. We finally managed to catch one there. The staff also came by to check on us frequently, and were very kind from start to finish. Thank you very much. The tempura of young eels that we managed to catch for everyone was very delicious (^^) (This review has been machine translated into English) -
Enjoyable smelt fishing
Thank you for your hospitality the other day. My Australian husband took my place at the last minute after injuring his leg. It seems that we didn't catch many smelt, but my daughter can't forget the taste of the tempura we made from the one or two smelt we caught, and she still talks about how much fun it was to fish for smelt. The hot spring water was of very good quality, and they also seemed to enjoy riding the tube sleds nearby. Above all, we were able to touch the fluffy snow, and it was worth going all the way to this heavy snow area to participate in this course. The people who looked after us were also very kind, and we have created some lasting memories. Thank you very much for your hospitality. I hope to participate again next time once my leg is healed. Thank you very much! (This review has been machine translated into English)

Smelt fishing experience
I participated with a friend. At first, I didn't know the trick and it was difficult to catch anything, but the staff came by frequently to teach us the tricks, so we gradually got better at catching fish and had so much fun that the time passed by quickly. The smelt that we caught were fried on the spot and were very delicious. I would definitely like to participate again if I have the opportunity.

Smelt fishing!
I went there on the last day of my graduation trip with my boyfriend (*^_^*) It was my first time fishing for smelt, so I was worried about the cold, but it was warm inside the hut, and the guide gave me detailed instructions, so I was able to enjoy it! When we first arrived, there was a snowstorm and we couldn't see what was going on around us, but it cleared up by the time we left. The combination of the sparkling fresh snow and the blue sky was so beautiful, just like the North Sea!!! The banana boat shook a lot more than I expected, too.
