Cormorant fishing on the Fuefukigawa River is called kachiu (walking cormorant fishing), and unlike the style of many other cormorant fishing operations in which several cormorants are controlled in a small boat, cormorant fishing on the Fuefukigawa River is a "cormorant-artist" style in which a single cormorant is controlled as it walks along the river. Why don't you try such a valuable cormorant fishing experience? We look forward to your participation!

Date: Wednesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays, and Sundays from July 20 (Thu.) to August 16 (Wed.), 2023, 20:00 - 20:50 *(Cormorant fishing will be held on July 20 and the cormorant fishing will be closed on August 17, but the cormorant fishing experience will not be available)

Location: In front of Fuefuki City Hall (777 Ichibe, Fuefuki-shi, Ishiwa-cho, Fuefuki-shi)

How to participate: Please fill out the registration form here.

Participation Fee: 3,500 yen per person (including a special "Cormorant" T-shirt)
