A day in the life of a Fisherman in Japan working in the countryside. This his typical workday from early morning until he finishes his day showing what Life in Japan's countryside is really like. Working in Japan as fisherman is hard but rewarding work. This fishing company focuses on ōgata teichi-ami-ryō (大型定置網漁) also known as Set Net Fishing. In Japan, coastal fishing like this is more common than deep sea fishing because it allows the fisherman to return home on the same day. It takes two boats working in unison to haul in the net—one small boat with two fisherman, and the rest of the crew aboard the larger vessel.
