Ukai Master's House Sugiyama
Gifu Prefecture/Nagaragawa OnsenAn Accommodation boasting a spectacular open-air bath with views of Mount Kinka and the Nagara River, and seasonal cuisine specialties.
As you gaze at the gently flowing Nagara River, you can feel yourself gradually being freed from the busy hours of yesterday. Today, I just want to be here like this. Cherish the luxury of doing nothing. Align your heart's time with "river time," gently and serenely... Spend such moments at "Usho's House Sugiyama," which has woven a long history together with the Nagara River.
The service and meals were flawless, and we were very satisfied to be able to see not only the Nagara River but also the castle from our Room window. The Plan that included cormorant fishing viewing was especially wonderful. Seeing it for the first time helped us understand what cormorant fishing is like, and also why this Accommodation has “Cormorant Fisherman’s House” in its name.I gave the bath three stars not because it wasn’t an Onsen, but because of the aging faucets in the indoor bath. The areas other than the bath have been renovated and are very clean, but only the bathroom felt old (though the tile grout has been properly redone and it still feels clean). Due to deterioration around the switch between faucet and shower, even when trying to use hot water from the shower, a significant amount leaked from the lower faucet, and the shower water pressure became weak.Other than that, we had no complaints at all—if anything, it was a thoroughly enjoyable stay that left us extremely satisfied!
ひこ山くん 6/15/2026The Onsen was great, and the food was delicious.I’d love to come again!It was also wonderful to watch the cormorant fishing from the river.

Introduction of the Accommodation

Sugiyama, the home of the cormorant fisherman, stands by the Nagara River. The abundant natural surroundings are part of Sugiyama's hospitality. Guests can enjoy views of the clear Nagara River, renowned as one of Japan's top 100 water sources, along with Mount Kinka and Gifu Castle.

Sugiyama, the Cormorant Master's House, is a culinary Property run by a family of cormorant masters. The ayu fish used in the cuisine are exclusively from the Nagara River, known for their "small and elegant" quality, distinct from the larger ones commonly found in markets. Ayu, also called "fragrant fish," offers a unique aroma when fresh.
