Itinerary Details
Japan's freshest delicacy: The original experience from harvesting sea urchin to eating it right away.
The sea urchins sold in the market have been out of the ocean for hours or even days.
At Kamui Coast Park, you will experience firsthand the process of cutting and peeling sea urchins using real fishing tools. The sea urchins are then immediately put into your mouth without any refrigeration or transportation, allowing you to enjoy their most original and sweetest flavor.
All props are provided free of charge. You can participate by hand on the day of your visit. No equipment is required. We also provide remote English and Chinese translation assistance, so you can easily participate even if you don’t know Japanese.
Bonus Prize: Sea Urchin Harvesting Experience on a Rock Boat
If the weather and sea conditions are good on the day, there will be an opportunity to board a rocky boat moored on the shore of the experience facility and go out to sea to harvest sea urchins yourself, at the same price.
However, whether this extra experience can be taken depends on the sea and sky conditions on the day. If you cannot make a reservation in advance, please cherish every opportunity to visit, as it may be your lucky encounter with the sea urchins on the isofune!
