Fishing near Mt Fuji
I was recently fortunate enough to go on a day trip with friends to Mt Fuji where we went fishing. This is something that I have never done before and I expected it to be pretty difficult but I actually managed to catch a few fish! The fishing rods we used were a long cane of bamboo with fishing line secured at the top and a hook attached to the end of it. It was simple but very effective. The fish we were fishing for were ニジマス or 'rainbow trout'. They fortunately weren't too big but they were very tasty! The staff salted and roasted the fish for us and we ate them there and then. I have never eaten such fresh fish! I would really recommend you go fishing with friends if you get the chance; it was fun and relaxing to be outdoors and active.
