A breathtaking moment unfolds upon the river —
one you cannot bear to look away from.
舟遊び — Funaasobi
The Japanese art of savoring nature, culture, gastronomy, and human connection upon the water.
A timeless Japanese riverside tradition reimagined through gastronomy.
For centuries, people gathered on boats to enjoy the wind, the scenery, music, fine drinks, and meaningful conversation —
finding joy in the simple luxury of time spent upon the water.
Our experience is a modern reinterpretation of this ancient culture of boat leisure, expressed through contemporary gastronomy.
The ingredients nurtured by the terroir of Gifu are transformed into refined French cuisine.
Wines and locally crafted sake are carefully selected by our sommelier.
Mount Kinka and Gifu Castle glow in the evening light as the gentle waters of the Nagara River drift quietly beneath you.
And all of it unfolds within the extraordinary setting of life on the water.
Following this gastronomic journey aboard the river comes the timeless spectacle of Nagara River Cormorant Fishing — a tradition that has continued for more than 1,300 years.
This is not simply dinner, nor merely sightseeing.
It is an immersive moment where nature, culture, history, and gastronomy become one —
a true modern expression of the ancient art of pleasure boating.
