Gifu

With its location at almost the center of Japan, Gifu is called “the belly button of Japan.” With its significant difference of the height, from 0 m of Nobi Plain to more than 3,000m Hida Mountains, Gifu is rich in flora and fauna. You can enjoy good and hidden hot springs, mountain-walking and skiing, and a wide variety of foods produced by the rich nature. You can join the Gunjo Odori dance festival in the summer night. Of course, you can never forget the registered world heritage, Shirakawa-go. Gife welcomes you with a unique combination of the history, culture, and nature, which you can never experience elsewhere.
