This is a valuable experience that can only be had here!
-------------------- In Ashikita town, there is the "Utase boat," known as the Lady of the Sea and a symbol of the Shiranui Sea. This is a traditional fishing method handed down in Ashikita town for about 160 years and is also called the Nagarebune. The "Utase boat" runs without an engine, using the power of wind, tides and nature. Experience up close the "Utase net fishing" method, which uses the power of nature to drag bottom trawls lowered to the seabed by a sailing boat, letting the sea breeze carry them.
Right next to the port of the Utase boat is the "Ashikita Utase Direct Sales Restaurant EBIAN." The restaurant serves dishes using shrimp, with the concept of "fisherman's meals of Ashikita." After boarding the boat, you can enjoy "shrimp tempura bowl" at EBIAN!
Why not try a special experience that you can't normally see?
