Smelt fishing was fun!
Three generations of parents and children (my grandfather, me, and my son) participated. (It was fun, as it fulfilled my grandfather's long-held wish.) Every experience in the great outdoors was a valuable first experience. The weather was good on the day, and we started by drilling a hole for fishing. We suddenly caught a smelt, but then we had to be patient. We were overjoyed when we caught another one after a while. The tempura made from the fresh smelt we caught was also exceptional. In my case, we were picked up and dropped off by car, and the guide's various explanations along the way were easy to understand and fun, and we had a really good time. This time, we didn't catch many, so I'd like to try again someday. (This review has been machine translated into English)
