The "Ichigaya Fish Center" can be seen from the platform of the JR Ichigaya station and through the windows of the Chuo Line. Located in a very accessible part of the city, it's a popular recreational spot bustling with fishing enthusiasts even on weekdays. Its charm also makes it a frequent choice for TV dramas and commercials' shooting locations.
There are two types of fishing ponds available: "Carp Fishing" and "Mini Fishing". For those seeking the thrill of authentic fishing, "Carp Fishing" provides a challenge with its strong-pulling carps. Inside this pond, which has a maximum depth of 2m, lurk large fishes over 50cm in length.
"Mini Fishing" changes its stock seasonally, offering goldfish, small carps, and river fish. It's designed to be friendly for kids and beginners. One of the unique features of "Mini Fishing" is that you can take home the fish you catch (two fish for every 30 minutes of use). The fee systems vary: "Carp Fishing" charges an entrance fee, while "Mini Fishing" charges based on the number of rods rented.
There's also a shop on the premises selling tropical fish, aquatic plants, and other aquarium-related items, making it a haven for fish enthusiasts.
