Kiso River Cormorant Fishing Observation

Marvel at the captivating interplay of the flickering lanterns, the graceful movements of the cormorants, and the stunning natural backdrop of the river valley.
The defining feature of the Kiso River cormorant fishing is the excellent visibility. The sightseeing boats get very close to the cormorant fishing boats. At times, you can even feel the heat from the bonfires on your cheeks. The cormorants also come extremely close, with water splashing reaching you.
Beautiful View from the Boat
Let's enjoy the fantastical, ethereal world created by the bonfires as we gaze at the illuminated Inuyama Castle and feel the pleasant breeze.
