<Nagara River Cormorant Fishing>
Enjoy "Nagara River Cormorant Fishing," a summer tradition in Gifu boasting over 1,300 years of history! In the pitch darkness, the flickering bonfire lights up the water, as the lively calls of the master fisherman (Ukai) and the rhythmic beating of the boat sides echo across the night river.
