History

Pictures are provided by Gujo City Historical Museum.
The Nagara River has been famous for its ayu (sweetfish) since ancient times.
"Yana" has been our primary fishing method.
During the Aoyama period, a lord-controlled "Yana" area was established in Nakano, the former Aioi Village.
According to a document from 1701, it can be inferred that people from Gifu had previously constructed "Yana" place.
The location shown in the diagram is still used as a yana fishing site every year.
