Latest Events in Fuefuki(May Updated)

The Fuefuki River Ishikawa Cormorant Fishing event is held every year in Fuefuki City, Yamanashi Prefecture, and fireworks are set off on the day. Unlike general cormorant fishing, where fishermen control multiple cormorants in a small boat, cormorant fishing on the Fuefuki River is a unique Japanese fishing method, where fishermen walk in the river and control a cormorant. This is a unified "cormorant fisherman" fishing method with a history of more than 800 years. The cormorant fishing event will be held every Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday from July 20 (Sunday) to August 17 (Sunday), for a total of 17 days. After the cormorant fishing event, fireworks will light up the midsummer night sky for about 10 minutes.
