About "Arashiyama Cormorant Fishing"

Cormorant fishing on the Hozugawa River (Oigawa River) was enjoyed by aristocrats during the Heian period, and it is said that cormorant fishermen belonging to the Imperial Kitchen Department supplied ayu (sweetfish) to the palace from Arashiyama.

Currently, cormorant fishing is a summer tradition in Arashiyama, held for two and a half months from July 1st each year, and is enjoyed by many tourists. In the evening, cormorant handlers wearing eboshi (hats) and koshimino (straw skirts) board two cormorant fishing boats illuminated by bonfires and appear from upstream with their cormorants. Cheers erupt from the audience each time a cormorant catches an ayu, creating a summer evening atmosphere along with the eternal nature.
