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.
On my first stay, I got lost at night because I couldn’t find the way to the Ryokan. They kindly guided me to the parking lot.\nI enjoyed a breakfast unique to Gifu, which brought back fond memories.\nI would like to stay here again.
華花はな 3/15/2026A delightful revisit after several years. The course featuring delicious ayu did not disappoint, and the small early-summer ayu was particularly enjoyable. We had a relaxing and pleasant time. One point for improvement would be the requirement to place slippers in the shoe rack before dining, which felt somewhat unhygienic. Additionally, the stairs and steps from the entrance could be more accessible.

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.
