Enjoying Fishing at Lake Hamana, Not Just for Travel but Also for Local Fun ~A Trip~

I often pass through the Lake Hamana area in Kosai City, the westernmost part of Shizuoka Prefecture, by Shinkansen. This town, with its beautiful lake visible from the Tokaido Shinkansen and trains, is where I went fishing yesterday. I visited the fishing spot on foot from Bentenjima Station, located west of the river mouth where Lake Hamana meets the sea, near the large bridge on National Route 1. It was very windy and the waves were rough that day, so I was able to catch many fish on the back side of the fishing spot. When fishing in Lake Hamana, you can catch many small fish simultaneously. In October, Aigo (rabbitfish) are particularly easy to catch, and I once caught three at once using sabiki fishing. I decided to take home the fish that were easier to prepare. I managed to catch a total of 7 desired fish. From the observation deck near the sea, you could see the national route bridge and the beautiful sea on the ocean side, and on the lake side, the plains, as well as Okuhama Lake which I visited recently, and the artificial island of Bentenjima where buildings in central Shizuoka City, trains, and Shinkansen trains arrive and depart. Around 4:30 PM, I walked to Washizu Station, toured the vicinity, and then headed back. On my way home, I stopped by the center of Toyohashi Station and had Chinese food before returning. I hope you all will come and see the scenery of the beautiful lake from the train window.
