Marukinmaru Dining Experience
(Swim with Fish Experience)
Becaome tha Fish: Swim with Sea Bream in Minami-Ise
Swim inside a sea bream farming pen—an intense, wild experience.
Witness sea bream swimming all around you underwater,
a rare opportunity you won't find anywhere else.
Guided by local fisherman Jun Hashimoto, you will board a fishing boat and head out to offshore fish farming pens.
Enter the water and swim in the same space as sea bream.
This unique program allows you to experience the ocean from beneath the surface—
a completely different perspective you can't see from above.
This experience takes place in Asoura, Minami-Ise,
a coastal village where life has long been connected to the sea.
Your guide, Jun Hashimoto, has traveled extensively around the world
before returning to his hometown to continue fishing and run a guesthouse.
The ocean is not something to simply look at from afar—
it is something to connect with.
This experience brings you closer to that connection.
