Yoichi was built upon the herring fishing industry and flourished in the early 19th century. In 1954, the last large spawn or “Kuki” when the sea water becomes white with herring eggs, the herring populations declined dramatically and now Yoichi has become famous for its shrimp, squid, sea urchin, abalone, and flounder. If this sounds interesting then how about enjoying a walk along the local Yoichi port where all our local fresh seafood comes from? Your experienced guide, Mr. Yoshida, with a background as a Japan Fisheries Representative around Hokkaido, will share his knowledge of Yoichi's fisheries and a typical Japanese fishermen’s life.
