Nagaragawa Ukai Museum

Flow of the course

About this spot

A Gifu City facility standing on the banks of the Nagara River that conveys the history and culture of cormorant fishing. Its official name is the Gifu City Nagara River Ukai Museum, and it has easy-to-follow displays on the cormorant masters' robes, an actual fishing boat, and the lives of the birds themselves. In the video theater you can watch fishing scenes lit by blazing torches on a large screen, so even families who cannot come at night can get a feel for it. The building is air-conditioned, another plus for spending a hot morning in comfort. After your visit, step out along the Nagara River and enjoy the view of the water and Mt. Kinka.

Tips

There is an admission fee. Prices, opening hours, and closing days may change, so check the official website for the latest information. The video theater goes dark, so telling children who dislike dark places beforehand will put them at ease. There is little shade along the Nagara River, so do not forget a hat and drinks when moving between spots.

Best time to visit

About 1 hour 15 minutes. Right after opening you can look around at a relaxed pace
