[Gujo Hachiman]

Gujo Hachiman, the Little Kyoto of Oku-Mino, is known as a city with water and Edo-period streetscapes.
In Gujo Hachiman, the traditional lifestyle that makes use of this abundant water source is still carefully passed down, and you can enjoy a stroll through the charming streets while listening to the sound of the water flowing through the town.

[Cormorant fishing on the Nagara River]

Cormorant fishing is a fishing method that has been passed down in Gifu Prefecture for about 1,300 years, in which fishermen skillfully use cormorants to catch fish in rivers. The sounds of the cormorant fisherman encouraging the cormorant with a call of "Hou-hou" and the boatman tapping on the side of the boat to scare the sweetfish have transported people to a world of elegance that has lasted for 1,300 years.

[Ayu-filled dinner]

The meal will include a total of seven dishes: appetizer, sweet-simmered sweetfish, deep-fried sweetfish, salt-grilled sweetfish (natural Gujo sweetfish), sweetfish rice cooked in a pot in the style of Hitsumabushi (natural Gujo sweetfish), pickles, and dessert.
