In spring you can catch species such as umitanago (blackfish), rockfish (mebaru), Japanese whiting (shirogisu), mejina (black porgy), bigfin reef squid (aori-ika), red squid (akai-ika), and japanese halfbeak (urume iwashi).

Black sea bream (kurodai) and red sea bream (madai) are also caught.

Atami Castle Atami Trick Art Labyrinth Museum Atami Castle rises atop the summit of Nishikigaura, a scenic spot in Atami. The castle keep’s observation deck offers a 360-degree panorama: it looks out over Atami city, Yugawara, the Manazuru Peninsula, and on clear days the floating silhouettes of Hatsushima and Oshima, with the Ajiro–Ito side of the Izu Peninsula stretching beyond—making it Atami’s premier viewpoint. In spring the castle is famous for cherry blossoms, and in summer you can watch fireworks from the keep like a feudal lord. (The Cherry Blossom Festival runs from late March to early April.) Inside the castle you’ll find the Samurai Culture Museum displaying armor and swords, a ukiyo-e shunga gallery, an Edo costume experience room where you can dress up for photos, a jet footbath at 120 meters above sea level, and a free game corner—packed with sights and surprises. In the castle annex, the Atami Trick Art Labyrinth Museum offers wonderfully strange illusions where flat paintings appear three-dimensional. About 40 trick artworks feature marine creatures, dinosaurs, wild beasts, and Jaws-style scenes. You can do more than admire the art—take hilarious photos, experience illusions of becoming a giant or a tiny person, touch the exhibits, and snap shots for big laughs. Lose track of time as you get absorbed in the tricks. It’s a place that excites families, friends, and couples alike.

Osaka no Jin⚔Before participating in the war, there was an angel at Osaka Castle with a free hug sign hanging from his neck. The samurai refused the angel's hug, not wanting to taint it... and the angel made a sad face. The expression on his face is like watching a loved one die right in front of your eyes. The samurai wanted to protect this purity. However, he could not say anything lightly to the angel whose whole body was crying. The angel said as he wiped away his tears as if he had distilled only trust and goodwill towards others. "Thank you very much for today... but... Samurai-san and I... are not... friends yet." Angel was desperate. ``How can I become your friend?'' He handed me a homemade shuriken origami. His hands were shaking. The samurai had no words to answer, and was unable to look into the angel's eyes... A stifling voice came out of the man's mouth as he remained face down. The samurai was crying. Then, he gently hugged the angel. 大阪の陣⚔参戦前に大阪城で首からフリーハグの看板を下げている天使がいた。 天使が求めるハグを、侍は汚したくない思いで断った… すると天使は悲しい顔をした。 大切な人が目のまえで死んでいくのを見るような表情である。 侍はこの純真さを守ってやりたかった。 だが、全身で泣いている天使に軽々しい言葉はいえなかった。 人への信頼や善意だけを蒸留したよう天使は涙を拭きながらいった。 「今日は… どうも… ありがとう… でも、まだ… お侍さんと… 僕は… お友達じゃ…… ないんですよね」 天使は必死だった。 「お友達には… どうしたら… なれますか」とお手製の手裏剣の折り紙を手渡してくれた。 彼の手は震えていた。 侍には返す言葉がなく天使の目を見ることができずに… 伏せたまま男の口から、押し殺すような声が出ていた。 侍は泣いていた。 そして、天使をそっと抱きしめた。
