Hocchi Mountain Stream Fishing Center is a leisure facility surrounded by the beautiful natural scenery of Numata, Gunma Prefecture. The fishing area uses water from the clear Hocchi River and has been designed to recreate the atmosphere of a natural mountain stream, allowing visitors to enjoy a more authentic fishing experience.
Located approximately two hours by car from central Tokyo, the facility is also convenient for a day trip. It is popular with families, groups, and travelers looking for an enjoyable outdoor experience in the countryside.
The fishing area is approximately 120 meters long and is divided into 14 sections of different sizes.
Because the fishing grounds are designed to resemble a natural mountain stream, visitors can enjoy a sense of realism that is different from an ordinary fishing pond. The sound of flowing water and the surrounding natural scenery make the experience particularly relaxing.
The fish available include rainbow trout, char, and yamame trout. Visitors can fish freely during their allotted fishing period, making the facility suitable even for beginners and children who have never tried fishing before.
Fish caught at the center can be taken home, or visitors can have them prepared on site as salt-grilled fish over charcoal.
Slowly grilled over charcoal, the freshly caught fish develops a wonderfully aromatic flavor. Enjoying a meal surrounded by nature makes the experience even more memorable.
Staff members carefully grill the fish for visitors, allowing them to relax and enjoy their freshly prepared catch after fishing.
Eating a fish that you have caught yourself is a special experience and can become one of the highlights of a family trip or outdoor adventure.
The facility also has a covered barbecue area, allowing visitors to combine fishing with an outdoor meal.
On sunny days, guests can enjoy their food while feeling the fresh air and sunlight filtering through the surrounding trees. The barbecue area is particularly suitable for families and groups traveling together.
Because the barbecue facilities are covered, they can also be used on rainy days or when the sun is particularly strong.
An air-conditioned dining hall is also available, providing a comfortable place to enjoy a meal after fishing.
The Hocchi River flows directly beside the fishing center, and during summer visitors can also enjoy playing in the river.
Children can splash in the water, look for small creatures, and explore the natural environment, providing an enjoyable hands-on experience away from the city.
During summer, it may also be possible to find rhinoceros beetles and stag beetles in nearby trees, making the area an especially enjoyable place for children who love discovering wildlife.
Hocchi Mountain Stream Fishing Center is also conveniently located for exploring other attractions in the Numata area.
