Board a Tuna Fishing Boat in Oma

Witness the thrilling moment of a fisherman catching tuna

Oma is where you can find the best waters for catching maguro (bluefin tuna) using the ippon-zuri (handline fishing with a single baited hook) technique. Board a fishing boat and ride out to the middle of the fishing waters, where nearly a hundred Oma fishing boats crowd together. A veteran fisherman will serve as your guide to a tour that typically lasts around two hours, including the journey to and from the fishing grounds. The excitement you will feel when you witness the scene of a fisherman battling with a giant tuna can be felt nowhere else.

When to go: August through early October
