Firefly Squid Boat Tour

Departing the Namerikawa fishing port, which is the best port to catch in Toyama, the visitors will see the fishing activities with the off-shore fixed net for firefly squid by a sightseeing boat before dawn.
Along with the signs of spring comes the mystery of Toyama bay "Hotaruika" (firefly squid). Why don’t you take a valuable experience that you cannot have in your daily life, such as "Ami-okoshi” (net-raising) where fishermen raise the off-shore fixed net, the mysterious light of sparkling firefly squid, and the morning glow of the Tateyama mountain seen from the sea?
