[Aichi, Mie] Top 10 Fishing Ponds in the Tokai Area

"Fishing" is becoming increasingly popular as an activity that avoids the crowded areas, but those who want to "casually enjoy fishing" may find it hard to overcome because of the need to prepare equipment and to go far away in the early morning.

In such cases, Fishing ponds are recommended! In most cases, you can rent equipment at a fishing pond, so you can go empty-handed and enjoy fishing at your leisure. Since no fishing skills or tricks are required, even beginners and small children can enjoy the experience of catching fish.

This time, we will introduce fishing ponds in the Tokai area that can be enjoyed by parents and children.

Fishing Ponds in Aichi

Aichi Prefecture's fishing ponds are attractive because of their good access. It is possible to enjoy fishing along with other leisure activities and driving, such as being close to the highway IC or in the city. How about visiting a nearby fishing pond?

Tsugu Kogen Green Park rainbow trout fishing spot (Shitara-cho, Kitashitara-gun)

Tsugu Kogen Green Park is the largest luxury campground in Okumikawa, located at the foot of the Okumikawa Tsugu Kogen, which is 900 meters above sea level and is known as Aichi's starry sky sacred place. You can enjoy the nature of Oku Mikawa to your heart's content surrounded by forests, rivers, and starry skies, while being only 90 minutes away from cities such as Nagoya and Toyota.

The "Fishing Pond" is suitable for beginners, even small children can enjoy it. Caught fish (rainbow trout) can be eaten at the on-sit grill.

Rainbow trout catching is also held during the summer vacation time. The cold mountain water is dammed and the rainbow trout is released. The water depth is about 10 to 20 cm, so it is also recommended for families.

You can eat the fish you caught at the rainbow trout grill on the premises.

Various other activities, such as river play and putting golf, are also popular.

Also, please join the "Starry Sky Observing Sessions" held every weekend by the Okumikawa Starry Sky Guides, an association that conveys the charm of the Okumikawa starry sky. If the weather and the age of the moon are favorable, the sky will be full of stars that would be unimaginable in the city, and if conditions are right, the Milky Way can be seen.

It will surely be an unforgettable memory.

Many people work together to pull up the seine to the tune of a call. It is a rare experience to pull up the net, excited to see what kind of fish will be caught.

Let's make a lot of memories at the fishing pond 

There are many fishing ponds in the Tokai area that can be enjoyed by parents and children. The main attraction of many fishing ponds is that you can drop in casually, as you do not need to bring anything with you. Even those with little fishing experience or without fishing equipment can enjoy fishing, so we recommend them to those who are interested in fishing and would like to try it out first.

Let's go out to the fishing pond with parents and children and make a lot of fun memories.
