    I went on a scenic...

    I went on a scenic fishing and Japanese home cooking tour. It was my first time to fish and I enjoyed it very much! I had a lot of fun fishing with Naomi and the captain, who guided me how to set the bait by myself! I was not very good at fishing, but with the help of Naomi and the captain, I was able to catch the fish and I was very happy! We cooked and ate together with Naomi and everyone else, and the food was fresh and made from the fish we caught. It was very tasty and I highly recommend this experience. I would like to participate again when I come back to Japan! It was a great memory, thank you Naomi!

    I had so much fun!

    It was my first time fishing and I caught a lot! Naomi taught me how to cook the fish I caught. Since we caught a lot, we cooked a lot and got full. Our guide, Naomi, had a lot of fun!

    Amazing fishing tour

    My friends and I were able to spend really great time through this tour with Naomi!! We experienced Shiro-gisu offshore fishing! The weather was nice, tour plan which Naomi made for us was very well-organized! We got 15 fish for each person! After enjoying the Shiro-gisu fishing, we also had fun cooking using those fish. We cooked Tenpura, Sushi, and some other dishies! The tast was super amazing! We had very special and unforgettable moment through this tour and are pretty sure we are going to join this tour when we visit Japan again! Thank you, Naomi-san!!

    Had an amazing time thanks to Naomi! Loved that they served drinks, and getting to try making tempura and sushi was such a fun memory. The staff were super kind and taught me how to fish carefully, so everything went smoothly. Definitely want to go again! Thanks so much, Naomi!!

    Fishing with Mt. Fuji Views and Japanese Home Cooking Experience: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Yokohama.

    How much does Fishing with Mt. Fuji Views and Japanese Home Cooking Experience cost?

    +

    Prices start at $248 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Yokohama usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Fishing with Mt. Fuji Views and Japanese Home Cooking Experience take?

    +

    Plan for about 8.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Yokohama is not rushed.

    Is Fishing with Mt. Fuji Views and Japanese Home Cooking Experience worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 5 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable food & drink in Yokohama, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Fishing with Mt. Fuji Views and Japanese Home Cooking Experience?

    +

    No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.

    Is Fishing with Mt. Fuji Views and Japanese Home Cooking Experience suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Fishing with Mt. Fuji Views and Japanese Home Cooking Experience?

    +

    Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Yokohama can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Yokohama and add a light layer if any part of the 8.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Fishing with Mt. Fuji Views and Japanese Home Cooking Experience start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Yokohama within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Yokohama?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Yokohama experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Tokyo in 1 Day from Yokohama: Private Tour, Licensed Guide, Yokohama Ramen Adventure near Tokyo: From Factory to Home Cooking, 【Tokyo】JDM Daikoku Parking & Nissan Facility Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Yokohama?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Yokohama?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
