Oma tuna pole-fishing watching tour

This is a tour that you can only experience in Oma, the sanctuary of pole-fishing for tuna with a single line. You will board a fishing boat and be taken into the midst of the single-line fishing where Oma's fishing boats are crowded together. Veteran fishermen will guide you and give you play by play explanations on the fishing. This is the only place where you can experience the excitement of watching when a fisherman grapples with a giant tuna. ■2018 data: 75% chance of getting to the tuna fishing grounds! 25% chance of being there the moment a tuna is caught!
