About this sight
Yasugi city is well known for their dojou-sukui or loach scooping. "Dojou” is Japanese for loach, a small freshwater fish, and "sukui" means to scoop up with a basket. In the past, loach was one of the most popular foods in the area. The dojou-sukui has evolved into a dance with two versions, male and female. Visitors can learn the dance and more about loach scooping at Yasugibushiya.
