Hinata Valley (日向渓谷)

Flow of the course

About this spot

This is a valley flowing through the mountains of Hinata, Isehara City, on the east side of Mount Oyama. Its riverside, covered with clear streams and green trees, is refreshingly cool, making it comfortable to spend time even in September and October, when heat continues due to global warming. At the valley's trout fishing area, you can enjoy stream fishing and pond fishing, fish-catching by hand which is popular with children, and barbecue. It is open 8:00-17:00 and operates without holidays from April to October (last reception is 15:00 for stream fishing, 16:00 for pond fishing, and 14:00 for barbecue). Fees are: stream fishing fee is 3,700 yen per person per day for rainbow trout, and 4,300 yen for char/yamame trout; pond fishing is 500 yen per fish (minimum 3 fish); fish-catching by hand is 500 yen per fish (minimum 5 fish); barbecue admission is 1,000 yen for junior high school students and up (1,200 yen in high season) and 600 yen for ages 3 through elementary school students, with rod rental at 350 yen. Parking is also available.

Season & hours

Tips

Fish-catching and playing by the river are meant to get you wet, so bring extra changes of clothes and towels. If you plan to barbecue, arrive early enough to make the 14:00 last order, and for fishing, be in time for the reception deadline around 15:00.

Best time to visit
