A serene fishing time surrounded by virgin forests.

Akan Lake and Akan River Fishing

Casting lines into the tranquil lake and listening to the gentle murmur of the river. It is not just about the catch; here lies a luxurious moment that immerses one in the passage of nature's time.

Lake Akan has long been known as the origin of the Hime Masu, and it has shared its life with various lakes across the country, including Lake Shikotsu and Lake Towada. Furthermore, the Amemasu thrives in its natural state without human intervention, and its appearance is described as beautifully adorned with gold dust.

In response to the increasing presence of non-native species such as the wakasagi, Lake Akan has implemented a rare catch-and-release rule in Japan to protect its native species. This system has been established to prevent the depletion of fish resources and to safeguard the future of nature.

The lakeshore is almost free of artificial structures, and thanks to the conservation efforts of the Maeda Ippoen Foundation, Lake Akan has avoided rampant development, preserving its beautiful form embraced by primeval forests. The richness of the forest and lake, which remains clear even after heavy rainfall, provides an invaluable environment for both trout and anglers.

To enhance and enjoy the fishing experience at Lake Akan more deeply and safely, the guides from Tsuruga Adventure Base SIRI serve as strong allies. Experienced experts will thoroughly introduce the natural beauty of Lake Akan and the allure of fishing.

Fishing here is not merely a leisure activity; it is a time to become one with nature while feeling the heartbeat of the forest and lake. It is a quiet luxury unique to Lake Akan.
