The Nagara River is an amazingly beautiful clear river.
Blessed with an abundance of nature, the unique cultural assets that have blossomed in the areas around which the river flows links their ancient traditions to our present day.
Some of these assets include the city of Gujo, famous for its all-night Gujo-Odori dance; Mino city for Mino paper, recognized as a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage; the city of Seki, which is one of the world’s three major centers of cutlery production; Gifu city, officially recognized as a Japan Heritage site where the hospitality of Nobunaga remains alive; and the Oze and Nagara rivers, home to the Imperial Household Agency ceremonial staff and nine cormorant fishing masters.
Although the towns and cities that border each other may seem different, their cultures are intertwined.
