Kikuko's website: Shiohigari - shellfish gathering near Nagoya

Shiohigari (潮干狩り)/Shellfish Gathering
(Digging clams at the beach)
Near Nagoya (Ise Bay/Mikawa Bay)

Please check the low-tide time before you make a plan.
Start shellfish gathering 1hour before the low tide.

Local fishermen are granted fishing right to shells.
They grow shells.
So, we have to pay for gathering and can not get shells out of the specific area.

Shiohigari Calendar 2024

◎/Very good, ○/Good, △/Available but not allowed to dig
(Recommended two hours at around the time)

The best time is about around Ise Bay and Mikawa Bay, and may vary slightly from beach to beach even in the same bay.

Take care! in some beaches, shellfish gathering is prohibited.
