  1. As far as I know no license is required for saltwater fishing in Japan. A license may be required for freshwater, particularly in lakes and rivers with trout, salmon etc. but it depends on the area as its a local issue. I would contact the city hall in the area where you want to fish and they should be able to sort you out. Tight lines!
