Welcome Excursion

Ukai (Cormorant Fishing) Watching Tour is scheduled on the 1st day at the Nagaragawa River.

Ukai -cormorant fishing on the pristine Nagara river - is one of the most summer sights of Gifu City. Ukai is a traditional night fishing method in which an usho (Cormorant Fishing Master) and u (cormorant birds) work together to fish by the flames of Kagari-bi (fishing fire lanterns) reflecting on the dark surface of the river, with Mt Kinka and lofty Gifu Castle on its summit providing a dramatic backdrop to the scene.
