Best time to visit

Longline tuna boats usually return to the port around 7-9 a.m., so you have a slightly better chance of seeing the catch landed then (keep your distance) (Oma tourism FAQ).

Busiest season

Oma tuna is in season from autumn to winter, when the fish arrive off Oma after feeding in the Tsugaru Strait.
