The Saga Fishing Grounds were not only used as residences by the Saga Clan, but they also housed workers during the fishing season. There were also facilities such as a drying area, storage area, and a dock.
The banya (main house), tota storehouse (product storehouse), and ship storeroom are the sole remaining structures. Under the Rumoi Herring Fishing Tools, the Former Rumoi Saga Fishing Grounds and the 3745 artifacts housed and displayed there are designated as Important Tangible Folk Cultural Property.Photos inside the Former Rumoi Saga Fishing Grounds*
* I posted only a handful of photos of the exhibits and I purposely didn't label them so that you would only get a glimpse of what the Former Rumoi Saga Fishing Grounds has to offer. Please visit it and enjoy it with your own eyes.
My family and I had the opportunity to visit the Former Rumoi Saga Fishing Grounds for the first time on August 7, 2022, my 279th day in Japan as an ALT under the JET Programme. During the visit, we were accompanied by our friend Teacher Kanda. My family and I learned a lot about the herring fishing era in Rumoi. Mokko Backpack Activity
My daughter and I also got to try on the Mokko backpack that was used in the industry at the time.

If you are not from Rumoi, it is difficult to access the Former Rumoi Saga Fishing Ground. It's not because it's too far away, but because it only opens a few times a year. It was only open from August 3-9, 2022. If you wish to go inside and listen to the curator discuss the history of the Former Rumoi Saga Fishing Ground, please visit the Rumoi City website 👉LINK👈 and wait for the next opening date to be announced. They normally announce it around the middle of July.
