The Nakano ferry service spans the Kiso River, connecting Ichinomiya City in Aichi Prefecture with Hashima City in Gifu Prefecture through a boat service.

The ferry service started in 1586 after a major flood on the Kiso River divided the village of Nakano in Haguri District, establishing a water transport connection.

The stone lantern on the Hashima side, constructed by local volunteers during the late Edo period, marks the historical river crossing point.

The ferry operates three daily time slots from 8:30 to 16:10, carries up to 12 passengers plus 2 crew members, and accepts bicycles for transportation across the river.

The ferry service, currently free of charge due to joint funding from Aichi and Gifu prefectures, faces potential closure in 2025 with the construction of New Nobi Bridge.
