What you can expect

Meet your guide and travel to the river where the experience takes place. Board a traditional Japanese boat (Yakatabune) and observe the fishing performance from the water, offering an up-close and immersive perspective.

Watch as skilled fishermen, known as “Usho,” use trained cormorant birds to catch fish in the dark, illuminated only by firelight. This creates a magical and unique atmosphere that cannot be experienced anywhere else in the world.

Learn about the history, cultural significance, and techniques behind Ukai from your guide, making the experience more meaningful and educational. After the performance, enjoy a traditional Japanese Kaiseki dinner featuring seasonal ingredients (optional depending on plan).
