<h1>A BASE Where You Can Go When You Want to Savor the Sea with Your Five Senses.</h1> <div class="_place">Kushimoto-cho, Wakayama</div> </div> </div> </section> <article> <div class="c c_heading"> <h3>A trip to Kushimoto, Wakayama – to the sea full of wonder and discoveries.</h3> </div> <div class="c c_text"> <div class="text">My 5th-grade daughter appeared to have learned about the fishing industry in school. She came to us and asked with glee, "Did you know that there is such a thing as tuna aquaculture?" My husband replied, as if a light bulb went on in his head, "Shall we go see a tuna farm?" My daughter, who loves tuna, quickly agreed and shouted, "Yeah!" And so, with that, our schedule for that weekend was set.</div> </div> <div class="c c_image_l"> <figure> <img src="https://www.tripbasestyle.com/upload/articles/6/1.webp" alt=""> <figcaption>We played some music and sang in the car. As we drove along the coastal road by the blue shimmering water, we were greeted by the Hashigui-iwa Rocks, one of the most dramatic sights of Kushimoto.</figcaption> </figure> </div> <div class="c c_text"> <div class="text">It was about a three-hour drive from Osaka. Since the aquaculture tour would start the next day at 9:00 am and we wanted to take it easy on our first day, we decided to first visit the Nanki Kushimoto Tourism Association, which could advise us on our sightseeing. "In Kushimoto, you'll enjoy the many different faces of the sea. For example, there are coral colonies on the west side of the sea that will entertain you with the same sea view as Okinawa when you go snorkeling," said Ui, the director, when we told him that it was our first time in Kushimoto. "No wonder the water is so beautiful," we said excitedly.<br><br>He recommended Ozaki no Himono when we asked him for a good place to have lunch. It is a himono (dried fish) shop right by the sea, and in the shop, they grill the himono and serve it in set meals. We thanked him for his help and drove right on.</div> </div> <div class="c c_heading"> <h3>Indulging in exquisite himonos, produced by a specialist.</h3> </div> <div class="c c_left"> <figure> <img src="https://www.tripbasestyle.com/upload/articles/6/2.webp" alt=""> <figcaption>We ordered set meals - Saba-mirin (grilled mackerel in sweet rice wine) for me, Hiraki (grilled cut-open fish) for my husband, and Maguro-don (tuna sashimi over rice) for our daughter. We heard that customers from all over Japan have been returning to this place since they started serving their set meals.</figcaption> </figure> <div class="text">While Ozaki no Himono specializes in himono, as its name suggests, it also serves a variety of other delicious seafood dishes besides himono, such as maguro-don and shirasu-don (whitebait over rice).<br><br>When I shared some of my saba-mirin with my daughter, she said, "Wow! I didn't know himono is this good." Ozaki, the president, happened to be there, so we asked if he could share the secret of making good himono. "Since we opened in 1949, we've been sourcing fish carefully selected by our experts, paying particular attention to color, luster and freshness. We buy fresh fish caught early in the morning in the fishing grounds in front of us and bring them to our processing plant, where we process them one by one," he kindly told us.</div> </div> <div class="c c_right_l"> <figure> <img src="https://www.tripbasestyle.com/upload/articles/6/3.webp" alt=""> <figcaption>Since they deliver, and since the Saba-Mirin won my heart, I bought three for my home.</figcaption> </figure> <div class="text">Ozaki said, "Many of our customers, just like you, would decide to buy himono and take it home after trying a meal saying, 'It’s so good!' Saba mirin has few small bones, so even your daughter will find it easy to eat, right? We also pride ourselves in our unique soy marinade sauce." We enjoyed chatting for a while.</div> </div> <div class="c c_text"> <div class="text">After stuffing ourselves to the gills, we bought some mehari-zushi for dinner at the Michi-no-Eki (roadside station) on the way to the hotel and checked in early to be well prepared for the next day.<br><br>As we walked into our room, we could see that Hashigui-iwa Rocks were right in front of us! We also enjoyed the view of Hashigui-iwa Rocks at sunset from the nearby open-air hot spring that we visited later that day, and my daughter and I were again amazed by the view. We were mesmerized by the scenery of the Kushimoto sea, which made us even more excited for the following day's aquaculture experience.</div> </div> <div class="c c_image_l"> <figure> <img src="https://www.tripbasestyle.com/upload/articles/6/4.webp" alt=""> <figcaption>At <a href="https://www.marriott.com/en-us/hotels/osafk-fairfield-wakayama-kushimoto/overview/?8" target="_blank">Fairfield by Marriott Wakayama Kushimoto</a>.The magnificent view of the Hashigui-iwa Rocks as seen from the hotel room was like a work of art created by nature.</figcaption> </figure> </div> <div class="c c_heading"> <h3>Heading out on a boat for an aquaculture experience!</h3> </div> <div class="c c_right"> <figure> <img src="https://www.tripbasestyle.com/upload/articles/6/5.webp" alt=""> <figcaption>We were so interested, and we were all unintentionally going "Huh?!" because everything we heard was new to us.</figcaption> </figure> <div class="text">Finally, the day of the aquaculture experience was at hand. The instructor, Yamazaki, welcomed us at the meeting point at the port.<br>The first session we were given was a lecture on tuna aquaculture.</div> </div> <div class="c c_left"> <figure> <img src="https://www.tripbasestyle.com/upload/articles/6/6.webp" alt=""> <figcaption>On a fishing boat to the aquaculture pond where the tuna is waiting! Sailing fast on the blue water with the wind at your back was also one of the real pleasures of the tour.</figcaption> </figure> <div class="text">At the presentation, Yamazaki said, "We started to venture into the challenging world of tuna farming here in Kushimoto some 50 years ago, and at that time, it was said that it would be easier to go to the moon than to farm tuna" and "Today we all know that tuna swim all the time, but this fact was discovered only after we started farming them and we observed them in aquaculture ponds day after day. " My daughter seemed fascinated by the presentation.<br><br>After about 10 minutes of talking, Yamazaki said, "Shall we go on the boat now?"<br>It was finally time, we thought as we three looked at each other.</div> </div> <div class="c c_heading"> <h3>It was such a powerful sight to see tuna biting vigorously into their food.</h3> </div> <div class="c c_right"> <figure> <img src="https://www.tripbasestyle.com/upload/articles/6/7.webp" alt=""> <figcaption>On this occasion, a group of us threw 100 kilos of sardines into the aquaculture pond. We were amazed when we found out that in the old days, 10 boxes (that is, a ton!) of feed were hand-thrown every day.</figcaption> </figure> <div class="text">We saw so many tuna when we looked into the pond! My daughter asked how many there were. "There are about 250, I think. To make it comfortable for them to swim, we made the ponds about 15 meters deep," Yamazaki said.</div> </div> <div class="c c_left_l"> <figure> <img src="https://www.tripbasestyle.com/upload/articles/6/8.webp" alt=""> <figcaption>Throwing a fish in the air was a lot more exhilarating of an experience than I thought it would be! At first, I thought I was just going to try it once, but before I knew it, my hands were reaching for the next one.</figcaption> </figure> <div class="text">"Today, we use a machine to throw the feed into the ponds, but what we're offering you here is the classic method," he explained, handing us a box full of sardines. My daughter was a little nervous when she saw it. We told her we'd go first. My husband and I would each have a go.<br><br>I used the net according to the lecture and it was surprisingly easy to scoop up the sardines. Nevertheless, this was my first real cast.<br> Could I do it right? My heart was pounding, but I was encouraged by my husband and daughter who cheered me on, saying, "You can do it!" So, I pushed myself hard to swing the net.</div> </div> <div class="c c_right"> <figure> <img src="https://www.tripbasestyle.com/upload/articles/6/9.webp" alt=""> <figcaption>As soon as I cast the feed, the tuna reacted, and I felt like I was communicating with them. "Wow! I could see their faces!" my daughter said excitedly, pointing at them.</figcaption> </figure> <div class="text">Splash! The tuna danced energetically to the surface as soon as the feed touched the water. The sight of tuna swimming vigorously toward the feed blew us away.<br>"I can't wait for my turn," my daughter said so excitedly. I don't think she remembered how nervous she was just a few minutes ago.<br><br>The three of us were so into throwing that we didn't notice the box of sardines was already empty. We took a boat back to the port to go to Minato Matsuri for the tasting, the place to wrap up this adventure.</div> </div> <div class="c c_heading"> <h3>Thinking of the experience, we tried the farm-raised tuna.</h3> </div> <div class="c c_left_l"> <figure> <img src="https://www.tripbasestyle.com/upload/articles/6/10.webp" alt=""> <figcaption>The sea stretched out before us. Knowing that the tuna was raised here with care made it taste even better.</figcaption> </figure> <div class="text">My daughter said, "I'm excited to try sashimi," as she looked out the window at the sea. Then the restaurant staff said, "This is the tuna that finally made it after so many struggles in aquaculture.
