Limited time only! the cormorant fishing is such an amazing experience!

One of the thing that you can experience in Seki , Gifu is the cormorant fishing.
Have you ever heard of this?
The performance of Oze Ukai(cormorant fishing) amazes visitors for five months of the year from May 11 until October 15. Visitors enjoy the beautiful scenery, reminiscent of ancient times, of the cormorant fishing masters (usho) and their cormorants fishing under a bonfire in quiet darkness.
In the darkness, cormorants catch sweet fish("ayu" in Japanese) controlled by cormorant fishing masters (usho) .

Oze Ukai is classified as a "Japanese Important Intangible Folk Cultural Property" in 2015. Sweet fish of Nagara river has been designated as a "World agricultural heritage certification" in 2015.

I have been to Oze Ukai with my friends.
There are no lights around the river and so quiet. All I could hear was usho and cormorants voices. Even for Japanese people, Ukai is an extraordinary experience.

Especially Oze(Seki) Ukai, classical way of fishing fascinates people unlike other area's Ukai.

It takes about 15mins drive from Washokuju-Sakura to Oze Ukai.
If you are interested, please feel free to ask me about reservations!
