Have you looked at tuna which swam?
"Tuna watching" that there was not so far! We approach in the secret!

"Shinwacho" that is located on the east side of Amakusa-shi. In this area, it is rare area where culture of tuna which is not seen in other areas is performed. Ota tail area in the town faces the marine bioluminescence sea, and, using fishery and warm climate, agriculture mainly on fruit tree is prosperous, too ♪ Does and "we show" not experience "tuna watching" that "hitting bite" kept in triple time of "hit bai" in such Shinwacho?

King "bluefin tuna" of tuna

"Bluefin tuna" cultivated in Shinwacho has many big shots more than what 100 kilos! Simply because, as for the secret that such a big bluefin tuna grows up into well, management of environment of the sea of Shinwacho and various places of Amakusa fishermen's cooperative association is thorough. Shinwamachiotao in the marine bioluminescence sea which water temperature, the depth of the water, river inflow (there are few inflows from big river), surge, the tide are consecutive, and meets all conditions. Therefore even the country where about 50m in diameter links huge fish preserve which there is as for 4km endlessly develops the largest nursery so that we think about habit of tuna which dies when we do not always swim, and growth can swim enough in total. This seems to be because we let you eat at time when you were able to decide and load with the cause, love of thorough management and are brought up every day.

Until encounter tuna; is ten minutes by ship!

We sprinkle bait this time and get on ship if it arrives at port of Ota tail fish. 50m in diameter is surprised at scenery that a certain huge fish preserve affects as for 4km endlessly as soon as we went on board! Furthermore, shadow of huge black fish swimming at considerable speed round and round is seen on the sea surface when we look in fish preserve though it is calm.

When Miyakawa of Amakusa fishermen's cooperative association throws in bait towards fish preserve, we put up spray, and the contest of bait between tuna begins! As for having a glimpse of expression of tuna which buys bait, and surfaced to the sea surface! We experience bait spearmanship after bait and reno demonstration were carried out! Let's throw in towards fish preserve with all one's might ♪ Seabirds grow in large quantities out of nowhere when we enjoy bait spearmanship! Fight of tuna VS chicken is one of the sightseeing of tuna watching, too.

We thoroughly enjoy original taste of bluefin tuna!
