There is a waiting hut for the boatman on the embankment on the side of the day market. There is no parking lot. There was space to park several cars under the embankment on the Kagami Island side. I think this means that it is a prefectural road and not a sightseeing boat. There is a guide posted on the embankment at the end of the approach to Kagamijima Kobo. There is a path that goes up the embankment and leads neatly to the ferry terminal. As I was wondering whether to wave the white flag to signal boarding or not, the boatman came out of the hut and asked, ``Do you want to board?'' I answered it. It's less than 100m away so your voice can be heard. It only takes about a minute to enjoy a conversation with the friendly boatman. It was a quick voyage. It has a capacity of 10 people and can accommodate bicycles. (Perhaps the stairs are a problem?) On the way back, I walked across the lower Ado Bridge. It took about 40 minutes walking slowly. Hurray for the ferry!

good. It's really good. I didn't know that there was a ferry boat that added elegance and emotion to such a familiar place, and that evoked the spirit of travel. I wanted to visit a hut in Kawakita, so I took the Gifu bus and got off at the ``One Day Market'' bus stop and walked for about 12 minutes. The boatman this time was the eldest of the four. Apparently he is 87 years old. Aikawa had a long chat with me before boarding the ship (lol). I guess it can't be helped since I'm waiting alone in the hut. I also had a lot of fun listening to various stories. Kobeni Ferry is part of the prefectural road, so it's free. I'm also grateful for this. It's not just a place for locals and prefectural residents to visit, but recently tourists have been coming here as well. It's also a beautiful sight to see Gifu Castle in the distance from the river surface under clear skies. I want to ride it again. (2023_07_07)

On a clear autumn day, you can see the Nagara River flowing quietly through the pampas grass. When you press the call button, a ferry boat will slowly arrive from the opposite shore. Board the ferry and enjoy the pleasant breeze of the Nagara River after a few minutes of voyage. A ferry boat that has been around since the Edo period, the elegant Kobeni Ferry

It has now become a ferry for outboard motors. In the past, it was a smarter boat that used oars. During the summers when I was in junior high school (I think around 1970-1970), I would swim to the other side and have the oar used to row me back. I remember being able to row pretty quickly. I wonder if I can still row... The water quality has declined for a while, but recently it has become clearer. However, I don't know if it's because of the estuary weir, but I feel like the scenery here now resembles that of the downstream area, which is a shame.

(Translated by Google) While crossing the Nagara River, you can see the scenery that has not changed since ancient times. It is recommended to check in advance because the time the ferry boat does is different depending on the season. Also, when the water level increases, a red flag is raised on the hut on the north side, and in that case it is closed. (Original) 長良川を渡りながら堤外の昔から変わらない景色を眺めることができます。 季節によって渡し船がやっている時間が違うので事前に確認することをおすすめします。 また、増水時には北側の岸の小屋に赤い旗があがっており、その場合は運休しています。

(Translated by Google) It's a historic ferry, but it's free! Currently, the capacity of 4 people is about 5 minutes due to coronavirus. When the Nagara River rises, it may be canceled. (Original) 歴史のある渡船ですが、何と無料です。現在コロナ禍で定員は、4人 所要時間５分程度です。長良川の増水時は、中止になる事あります。

I rode it while running. After that, I visited Otsuji Temple. The Nagara River is quiet. The warblers are still singing! It seems that the number of people riding the ferry has increased due to the coronavirus. I'm happy.

I've known about the ``Kobeni no Watari'' since I lived in Gifu for work about two years ago, but I had never actually used it. However, I really wanted to visit it, so I visited it a few years ago when I was in Gifu. From Gifu Station, take a bus to the "One Day Market" on the north shore (buses run about once every hour), walk for about 10 minutes to the pier on the north shore, take a ferry to the south shore, visit Kagamijima Kobo, and return. I did. From Kobo Kagamijima, I took a bus (there are far more buses here) and returned to Gifu Station. . The ferry ride itself doesn't take much time, but the Nagara River is clear so it's nice. The ship was not a "turret" but a power boat. The boatman was a woman, which is also a good thing. I also went to Tokyo's ``Yakiri no Watashi'', but it was a sightseeing boat. This is part of the prefectural road, so is it still a community road? Since it is a prefectural road, there is no charge for the boat.

駐車場が無いのが残念。舟は最高、水深数メーターらしいが川の底が見えるほど水が綺麗だった。おじさん気さくな方なので安心できる。

親切な船頭さんたちが、安全に船渡しをしてくれます。

It's one of the few ferries in Japan, and although the distance is short, the boatman is kind, so please give it a try.By the way, when I rode it, it was free.

I visited by bicycle, but it seems possible to use it. I hope it continues to serve as a means of transportation for people in the neighborhood.

My uncle was a friendly and nice person! When I warned people who were jetting nearby, they threatened to splash me with water 💦 Young people! I feel sorry for the uncle, so please stop it. m(*_ _)m

This is the historical free ferry service (subject to any water levels after typhoon and wind gusts) for the past 300 years

月曜休航でした～😞

珍しい現代に残る渡し船。タダでいい体験ができました。船頭さんいつまでもお元気でご活躍下さい。

無料交通インフラ。 21日の弘法様も終わりました。 長良川でもうここしか無くなってしまったのですね。 のどかで風が気持ち良かった。 長く続きますように。
