For Adventurers

Remote Eging & Light Game Fishing Experience

Trek through the jungle, scramble over rocks, and step onto a shore no one else knows. The ocean ahead is untouched. Cast egi lures to entice aori squid and probe for fish at your feet with light lures. Enjoy fishing while becoming one with nature on Ishigaki's hidden coast. A special adventure only Hamachan can guide.

Tour Highlights

Remote eging & light game fishing is run-and-gun style — a backpack loaded with egi lures, light tackle, and minimal gear, working your way along Ishigaki's hidden coastline. Beyond a jungle trail where you'll think "can we really get there?", a special spot known only to Hamachan opens up. In waters with almost zero fishing pressure, aori squid and a variety of fish species swim without caution.

The moment an aori squid strikes your egi, the satisfying bend of a light rod as a fish takes the lure. The main target is aori squid, but light game lure fishing is also available, and you can aim for a variety of species depending on conditions that day. Unlike trophy-hunt fishing, this is an easy-to-enjoy adventure with the special feel that only a remote shore can offer.

Hamachan is an islander who knows every corner of Ishigaki. Route selection, footing checks, tide calculations — he has it all covered. Floating game vests, grip-sole shoes, and other safety gear are provided. First-time eging anglers and those curious about light lure fishing can take on the challenge with confidence. A special tour where anyone can enjoy fishing in a truly unspoiled setting.
