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!

"Reiwa" new era started! This is how Washokuju Sakura celebrate.

We had a long holiday from the end of Apr. to May 6th. On April 30th, the day the Emperor of Japan abdicate. And May 1st, the Crown Prince is due to be throned. Heisei era was over, and a new era called "Reiwa" began. The ceremonies at the Imperial Palace are very serious, quiet and mysterious.  We can watch it on TV. The cities all over Japan are full of events of being thankful for an old era and Emperor and celebratory of a new era and Emperor. In Washokuju Sakura, of course I made Osechi to celebrate this new era! Osechi is for celebration. Hoping Reiwa era would be full of happiness and peace. During this long holiday, I had 3 guests from China, Indonesia and Osaka from Japan. I had great holiday with them! I will introduce about them later. <Japanese Cooking class ＆ Home stay "Washokuju Sakura"> We offer Japanese New Year cooking lessons  "Any Time New Year" program  every day!
