Overview of the Tour

Japan’s mountains are home to flowing rivers and streams tucked away and hidden from the general population. In these pristine rivers live the beautiful Iwana and Yamame. 

Learn, cast and catch these amazing creatures with a local guide, using Tenkara – a traditional Japanese fishing style that uses only a rod, line and fly.

Your days will be filled with beautiful nature, crystal clear streams and rivers and hopefully many fish.
