Guide introduction
(shinyu ishima)
Hello. My name is Ishima Shinyu and I work as a fishing guide. I was born and raised in Takayama City and started fishing at the age of three, influenced by my father. I have been fishing for over 40 years. In addition to being a fishing guide, I also work to protect rivers and the natural environment. I will guide you wholeheartedly to make your trip to Japan as fulfilling as possible. I am well versed in all the fishing methods available in this area, and I am the one who guides fly fishing the most.
