岐阜縣飛驒市（市長：都竹淳也）將於4月4日（週六）舉辦春季傳統活動「瀬戸川鯉魚遷徙」。為了保護鯉魚免受冬季作為融雪水道使用的瀬戸川的除雪作業影響，約1,000隻在附近池塘越冬的鯉魚將由市民和志工們放回河中。在白牆土藏街的背景下，色彩鮮豔的大鯉魚悠游的景象是飛驒古川的象徵性風景。此活動標誌著這座城鎮正式迎來旅遊旺季和美麗的春日風貌。
春季與秋季的傳統「瀬戸川鯉魚遷徙」
飛驒市古川町的觀光景點「瀬戸川」約在400多年前為開墾新田而建造，一直以來用於農業用水和清洗衣物等。戰後，由於垃圾和生活污水等原因，河流的污染變得顯著。約50年前，當地居民為了美化河流而放流了鯉魚，這便是這項傳統的開端。
約1,000隻朱紅、白色、黃色、黑色等色彩鮮豔的大型鯉魚在瀬戸川悠游，深受市民和遊客喜愛，使瀬戸川成為飛驒古川熱門的拍照景點。
冬季時，屋頂積雪會被排入瀬戸川。因此，每年11月會將鯉魚移至附近的天神池（增島城跡）越冬，並於4月放回河中，成為季節性的傳統。※去年因工程關係，於10月中旬進行遷移。
預計於4月4日（週六）上午8點30分至9點左右，在圓光寺後方（飛驒市古川町殿町11-11）進行第一批放流。
實際作業時間可能因工程及鯉魚移動狀況而有所前後。

常見問題
What is the "Setogawa River Carp Migration"?
It is a spring and autumn tradition in Hida Furukawa where approximately 1,000 carp are moved from the Setogawa River to a nearby pond for overwintering and then returned to the river in spring. This is done to protect the carp from snow removal operations during winter.
When and where will the carp migration take place?
The spring migration is scheduled for Saturday, April 4th, with the first group expected to be released around 8:30 AM to 9:00 AM behind Enkoji Temple (11-11 Tonomachi, Furukawa-cho, Hida City). Please note that the timing may vary.
Why are the carp moved?
During winter, the Setogawa River is used as a channel for melting snow from rooftops. To protect the carp from this process and potential harm, they are moved to a nearby pond (Tenjin Pond) to overwinter and are returned to the river in spring.
How did this tradition start?
The tradition began about 50 years ago when local residents released carp into the Setogawa River to beautify it, as it had become polluted with garbage and wastewater. The river was originally created over 400 years ago for agricultural purposes.
What is the significance of this event?
The migration of the colorful carp swimming in the Setogawa River, with the backdrop of the white-walled storehouse district, is a symbolic and picturesque landscape of Hida Furukawa. It marks the beginning of the town's tourism season and its beautiful spring appearance.
