Ukai Cormorant Fishing Tour

Ukai Cormorant Fishing Tour is scheduled on the third day of the Symposium at the Nagaragawa River.

Ukai is protected by the Japanese government, and Master trainers of cormorants belong to a national agency (the Imperial Household Agency), and an important duty of theirs is to make offerings of ayu to the Emperor.

The tour will take you on a wooden boat and let you explore the traditional method of catching ayu by manipulating seabirds called U (cormorants). Light meal and drink will be served on the boat, where you can watch Master trainers of cormorants dressed in ancient costume freely manipulate 10-12 wild sea cormorants to skillfully catch ayu.
The view is magnificent and fantastic as the only illuminations are the pine torches lit on the boats. Enjoy this traditional, one and only, 1300-year-old event!
