An activity on the water featuring fishing and a BBQ on an aquaculture raft once used for pearl farming.
Uchinoumi lies northeast of Naruto City, Tokushima Prefecture. Floating on these calm waters, surrounded by Shimada Island and Oge Island, are aquaculture rafts once used when pearl farming flourished in the area. Today, visitors can enjoy fishing, BBQs, and other activities on the water.
Meet at AoAwo Naruto Resort. After an instructor explains the safety precautions for using the raft, you will travel there by boat. Round-trip transportation from the hotel is provided, so you can head out with minimal luggage. During the boat ride, the instructor will explain what kinds of fish are in season, the ebb and flow of the tides, and the best fishing spots, so feel free to ask any questions you may have.
Once you arrive at the raft, it is time to start fishing. The sabiki fishing method used here makes it easy even for beginners to set up their tackle. Black sea bream, sea bream, and sea bass can reportedly be caught from April, followed by horse mackerel and halfbeak from July and young yellowtail from September.
After fishing, enjoy a BBQ on the water. The package includes not only BBQ equipment but also ingredients such as meat, vegetables, and rice balls. You can also clean and grill the fish you catch right there on the raft.

Such a unique experience! Sitting on a wooden raft out on the sea, fishing and enjoying the ocean view—it's super relaxing and fun. You really get to take in Naruto's natural beauty up close. Highly recommend giving it a try!
I was a bit nervous at first, but the ocean view from the raft totally won me over. The water beneath is crystal clear, and it's so peaceful all around—just the sound of the sea breeze and the water. The whole experience is super chill. You can paddle slowly, or just lie down and relax—some people do that! It really feels like becoming one with nature and the sea. Perfect for anyone wanting to slow down and try something different!
