Efforts aimed at revitalizing the region by improving port facilities such as breakwaters to enable "fishing" were conducted on a trial basis at the port in Tomakomai City, Hokkaido.
With the aim of revitalizing the region through "fishing," the national government has designated port facilities throughout the country as "model ports for promoting fishing culture," and Tomakomai Port was selected for the first time in Hokkaido last year.
At Tomakomai Port, it will be possible to fish for a fee from April next year on the breakwater, which was previously off limits, and it was opened on a trial basis on the 3rd.
About 70 people selected by lottery visited the breakwater, and some people were pleased to catch black squirrels at their desired points.
At the breakwater, as a safety measure, floats and rope ladders were installed every 80 meters, and rescue boats were also prepared. I want to come again. "
Yoshihiko Makino, Deputy Director of the Japan Sportfishing Foundation Hokkaido Branch, said, "I was relieved to see everyone enjoying it. To provide a place where you can enjoy fishing safely and securely even if you pay a little. I think it is significant. "
