[Gujo Hachiman]

Gujo Hachiman, a small Kyoto in Okumino, is known for its water and the townscape of the Edo period.
In Gujo Hachiman, the traditional lifestyle that makes use of this rich water source has been carefully passed down to this day, and you can enjoy strolling through the quaint townscape while listening to the sound of water flowing through the town.

[Nagara River Cormorant Fishing]

Cormorant fishing is a fishing method that has been passed down in Gifu Prefecture for about 1,300 years, and involves skillfully controlling cormorants to catch fish in rivers. The sounds of the cormorant fisher encouraging the cormorants, “Ho-hou,'' and the sound of the boatman tapping the gunwale to frighten the sweetfish, transport people to a world of elegance that transcends 1,300 years.

[Dinner full of sweetfish]

・You can enjoy a total of 7 dishes: appetizer, candied sweetfish, fried sweetfish, salt-grilled sweetfish (natural Gujo sweetfish), hitsumabushi-style sweetfish kamameshi (natural Gujo sweetfish), pickled vegetables, and dessert.
