I recently returned from a trip to Japan and had the great pleasure of spending a day (albeit rainy) fly fishing with Maki-san.
He is VERY patient and knowledgeable, especially with this beginner/beginner! Maki-san was very accommodating and always receptive to my needs as a newer participant in this wonderful sport!
His English is very very good and he makes you feel very relaxed and at home in his home country!

The nature and landscape are beautiful and the people are wonderful.

I would highly recommend Maki-san for any fly fishing plans you have in Nagano Prefecture.
Thank you so much Maki-san for the great day of fishing and I look forward to seeing you on the west coast of Canada soon!
