Osu Cormorant Fishing

The Osu cormorant fishing, held in the small village of Ose by the Nagara River from May 11 to October 15, has a history of over a thousand years. The highlight is its rustic charm. Rather than a show, it allows you to see the original form of cormorant fishing as a method of fishing. The skillful hand movements of the cormorant fishermen, relying solely on the light of the bonfires in the pitch-black darkness, are breathtaking. Three cormorant fishermen, who have inherited the ancient fishing technique as designated cormorant fishers of the Imperial Household Agency, entertain the eyes of visitors.
