Once again it is time for Ukai, the unique style of fishing using cormorant birds to catch ayu, or "sweet fish" on the Kiso River in Gifu Prefecture. If you are going to Gifu-ken and have never seen this, make sure you put it on your list of things to do and see. If you have seen ukai, see it again! There is plenty going on, lots of treats, as well as entertainment - we guarantee you will have fun!
If you are unfamiliar with Ukai, please visit our earlier blog on the topic:
