CHAMPION EXPEDITION PACKAGES (SUMMER / AUTUMN / WINTER / SPRING)
For true connoisseurs who demand absolute horsepower and zero compromises on the heavy currents of Japan. CAENIS officially presents our flagship private guiding packages, meticulously engineered for the elite fly fisher.
From the moment you arrive in Nagano, your seamless journey into the heart of Japanese (Honryu) spey culture begins.
THE SEAMLESS ITINERARY & EXPERIENCE
1. PRIVATE VVIP STATION PICK-UP (NAGANO OR SAKUDAIRA)
Your luxury journey begins right at the Shinkansen gates. Depending on your destination and tactical fishing package, Maki will personally meet you at either JR Nagano Station or JR Sakudaira Station. You will be escorted straight into the heated leather sanctuary of our private premium SUV (Lincoln Navigator). Your luggage, heavy gear transit, and route optimization are 100% taken care of.
2. MORNING: KASHIMAYARI GARDEN (Precision Spey Masterclass & CAENIS Cane Rod Experience)
We head to Kashimayari to focus on precise spey casting techniques under expert instruction, emphasizing D-loop and anchor placement. Participants will personally cast CAENIS premier flagship hollow-built bamboo spey rods to experience the performance and resonance of premium cane. This session aims to refine casting discipline and muscle memory.
3. LUNCH: LUXURY LOCAL GASTRONOMY
We pause to fuel your passion with authentic local culture. Experience the legendary wild Jingisukan (grilled mutton) at the historic Sagiri-so Lodge, or hand-rolled 100% buck-wheat Shinshu Soba at a hidden wayside gem. (Please note: Lunch cost is paid individually).
4. AFTERNOON: RIVER SAI (The Wild Monster Hunt)
We drop into the heavy, roaring currents of the legendary River Sai. Utilizing the precision cast you perfected during the morning session, you will swing heavy flies through prime本流 pools, hunting for the world-renowned, brutal-fighting Wild Monster Rainbows. Maki will position you on the ultimate lines with full tactical support.
PROFESSIONAL INFRASTRUCTURE & DISCIPLINE
All high-grade rental waders (US9 and US10 Boot-foot waders, US L, XL waders and Men's U.S. 8, 9, 11, 12, and 13 wading boots with safety wading belts) and all essential field safety equipment are fully inclusive to ensure absolute comfort and safety for each VVIP guest.

■ Adverse Weather Procedures and Safety Protocols (All-Weather Guarantee)
At CAENIS, we prioritize your elegant experience, your valuable investment, and—above all—your safety. Should adverse weather or rising water levels occur, the tour itinerary will automatically adjust according to the following safety protocols:
• Plan A (Standard Conditions): The ultimate two-part daily tour. The morning features a precision casting masterclass using our proprietary bamboo rods at "Kashimayari Garden," followed by an afternoon "Wild Trophy Hunt" on the Sai River, targeting large wild trout.
• Plan B (Sai River Turbidity): If the Sai River is too turbid for fishing, the entire itinerary automatically shifts to a full-day private masterclass and giant trout fishing session at "Kashimayari Garden." Additionally, you will receive a 10,000 JPY VIP Loyalty Voucher (valid for one year) to use on a future booking.
• Plan C (Outdoor Facility Closure/Severe Weather): If outdoor fishing is impossible at both locations due to severe weather, the experience immediately switches to a private "CAENIS Atelier VIP Indoor Experience." You will be driven by SUV to our exclusive craftsman studio for a detailed masterclass on the design and structure of hollow-built bamboo rods, along with a private demonstration of rod-making tools. Under these special circumstances, the voucher is upgraded to a 20,000 JPY Gold Loyalty Voucher (valid for one year).
*Note: Regardless of the circumstances, the quality of your luxury experience in Japan will never be compromised. Please note that the cost of lunch and any on-site meals is to be covered by the guest.
