Popular with repeat visitors, the Sea Fishing Park has an ocean fishing pond where even beginners can catch large fish such as red sea bream and yellowtail. The concrete platform, rather than a floating raft, also makes it safe for families with small children.

After a full day of fun and a satisfying meal, unwind at Kishu Kuroshio Onsen, a day-use hot spring facility. Its chloride-rich spring water rises from Cretaceous strata 1,500 meters (4,921 feet) beneath the seabed and retains heat so well that it is known as a “warming hot spring.” Relax while taking in views of the yacht harbor and the sea.

Highlights

  • Admission is free to the theme park inspired by picturesque European streets.
  • A wide range of attractions provides a full day of fun.
  • Do not miss the tuna-cutting show at Kuroshio Market.
  • Try catching a large fish at the Ocean Fishing Pond.
  • The complex includes a day-use hot spring where visitors can unwind.
