Cormorant Fishing Inuyama

Cormorant Fishing

Fshermen on the Kiso River in Inuyama send trained birds into dark water to hunt by torchlight. That's ukai. Your boat pulls up close enough to feel the heat off the flames and you flinch when the birds break the surface. It's loud, it's real, and it's happening now.
