Nameless Pond (also known as Monet's Pond)
Located in Itadori, Seki-shi, Gifu, the nameless pond (also known as Monet's Pond) has beautiful water lilies blooming in the clear spring water and Nishikigoi carp swimming in it, just like Monet's pond in the painting.
Although it is a small pond, it is a spectacular sight in early summer when the water lilies are in bloom, so please visit!
(The best time to see the brightly colored water lilies is from late May to mid-July.)
Free parking is available along the road. Public restrooms are also available.
Only wheelchair users can use the parking lot near the pond.
The hydrangea road (hydrangea road) along Route 256 will be at its best at the same time.
The "Takaga Spring" along the road is also a recommended spot.
It was so popular that it had to be managed for a while, and it was charged, but you can take it home and use it for souvenirs and cooking. Please bring your own container.
This famous water became famous when marathoner Naoko Takahashi drank it, and if you see the Itadori River flowing through the Itadori area, you will understand why. It is a beautiful clear stream that maintains a temperature as cold as ice water even in mid-summer.

Oze Cormorant Fishing on the Nagaragawa River, Gifu / Seki Yusen Co., Ltd.
"Cormorant fishing", a Gifu specialty, is a fantastic fishing event that takes place in the pitch blackness after the sun sets. Feel the scent of the wind, the proximity of the clear water, the taste of sweetfish, the sound of the boatman rowing, the cormorants' cries, the cormorants' shouts, and the scenery fading into the evening with all your senses. The realism of the bonfire will allow you to experience the cormorant fishing that is said to have been enjoyed by Nobunaga Oda. Enjoy the realistic and fantastic view of the world. Cormorant fishing is performed in the dark, which is different from the grand atmosphere of the Nargaragawa River Cormorant fishing!

Seki-shi Specialty Seki-no Magoroku
The origin of "Seki Magoroku" can be traced back to the Kamakura period (1185-1333), when sword making began in Seki. During this period, many famous swords were produced, and among them, the master swordsmith "Seki Magoroku" produced the best swords with his unique style, which were beautiful, highly artistic, and excellent in sharpness. The belief that Seki swords were praised for being "unbreakable, unbendable, and sharp" has been passed down to modern blade making, and "Seki Magoroku" continues to pass on its sharpness to the present day, while utilizing the skills of the master craftsman.
At the Cutlery Festival, there will be not only sales, but also a corner where you can have your existing kitchen knives sharpened. You can have your kitchen knives sharpened by a professional. For only a few hundred yen, you can have your kitchen knives sharpened to a sharpness like new!
