(Blog post) Video message commemorating the start of operation of the Nagara River "Ukai Sightseeing Boat" (Gifu City, Gifu Prefecture)
A few days ago, we introduced "Nagara River Firewood Noh" in Gifu City, Gifu Prefecture on this site. While the memories remained, the Gifu City Ukai Ferris Boat Office distributed a message video commemorating the start of operation of the "Ukai Ferris Boat" on the Nagara River from June 21 following the lifting of the state of emergency.
In the video, you can hear the message of the cormorant representative about the future of cormorant fishing and the Ferris boat. As a highlight of cormorants, I would like you to see the cormorants chasing fish in friendly competition with each other, and the flow of the beautiful Nagara River in the background. As soon as I heard the story, I couldn't help but be fascinated by the exchange between the VTR cormorant and the cormorant lol. It's the same with other animals.
Nagaragawa cormorants work as the only imperial purveyor cormorant in Japan as a special national civil servant "Imperial Household Agency Shikibu Occupation Cormorant". I was surprised by this. Once you know about cormorants so far, you will definitely want to take a ride on the cormorant observation boat on the Nagara River.
