Osaka Bay
The inner bay at the eastern end of the Seto Inland Sea. The tides run strongly, and the variety of species increases as you move from the head of the bay out towards the Akashi Strait. Cutlassfish, horse mackerel, sardinella and black seabream are all close at hand, and autumn nights on the cutlassfish draw crowds. Several managed fishing parks give families plenty of options.
