This little shop just north of the Setagaya line entrance in Sangenjaya is called Tsuribori which roughly translates to “Fish Pond.” And it IS literally a fish pond. Inside there’s a big hole filled with water and fish, supposedly. You pay ¥1000 and they give you a pole, some bait and you sit around the pond in the dimly lit room and fish. I didn’t try it but I poked my head in to take a look. It was very smoky. I can’t imagine why anyone would pay to do this and if they caught a fish what would they do with it?
It’s like a game center for old people!
For some strange reason, this sounds so compelling to do. Either that, or I’m looking for an escape from these MX records.
