Ganso Okamoto Kanko Yana

This tourist yana (a traditional style of fish trap which catches fish by blocking the flow of a river) is situated on the Kinu River and is the closest to downtown Utsunomiya City. From mid-June to the end of October, visitors can have fun catching sweetfish caught in the trap with their bare hands. The large bamboo trap is situated on a clean and pure river and serves as a summertime leisure destination where everyone from children to adults can cool down and have fun at the same time. You can also have the sweetfish you've just caught broiled right on the spot on skewers with a dash of salt. In addition, the facility also offers a sweetfish meal which comes with broiled sweetfish, breaded and deep-fried sweetfish, sweetfish sashimi, and sweetfish rice. There's also catfish cuisine, plain broiled eel, sweetfish broiled with miso, and a full array of other a la carte dishes.
