Benkei Fishing Club

Located on the eastern side of the Akasaka Imperial Grounds, this leisure facility for boating and fishing is nestled in a corner of the Edo Castle outer moat, surrounded by expressways and tall buildings. Despite being in close proximity to Akasaka-Mitsuke and Nagatacho, it's a nature-rich oasis by the water, cherished by many enthusiasts.

The main activity here is boat fishing. Enjoy angling for black bass using lures or flies, or go for koi, crucian carp, rainbow trout, and others using bait. As you manually paddle the boat and spot the perfect fishing location, it offers a genuine boat fishing experience. For those who find getting on a boat challenging, there's also a bait fishing pond encircled by a floating pier. Target a variety of fish including koi, crucian carp, rainbow trout (in winter), gudgeon, and bluegill. Moreover, they also have a dedicated pond for kids to enjoy goldfish catching.

Both lure and bait fishing rod rentals (charged) are available, so you can easily give it a try. Of course, just boating is also an option.
