Gifu Gero-shi Mazegawa

"A farm located at the northern end of ""Maze, Gero City, a Village of Greenery and Clear Streams."" It was recognized as an official ""Beautiful Village"" in 2007 by the Association of The Most Beautiful Villages in Japan. They are committed to growing safe, delicious, pesticide-free blueberries and wasabi using organic fertilizer. Located in a cool region at an altitude of 688 meters, the large day and night temperature difference leads to a balance of sweet and sour flavors. You can eat the fruit on the spot where it was picked, but it may taste even better chilled and eaten beside the adjacent stream."

Gifu Kamo-gun Kawabecho Kashio 983-1

This shiitake mushroom farm is dedicated to traditional cultivation using logs. They forgo more efficient mushroom bed cultivation in favor of growing on timber, which requires hard work and is sensitive to environmental influences. They rely on the gradual decomposition of hardwoods such as nara and kunugi oak, resulting in delectable, fragrant shiitake with a nice, soft texture. You can pick-your-own shiitake mushrooms there if you make reservations at least a day in advance.

Gifu Hida-shi Kawaicho Tsunogawa 709

"This craft museum is where you can experience the traditional craft of ""Yukizarashi Sanchu Japanese paper"" in Kawai-cho, Hida City. You can enjoy experiences including papermaking and vegetable dyeing. Sanchu Japanese paper is made by exposing and bleaching ""kozo,"" the raw ingredient for Japanese paper, with snow for a characteristically light and natural color. Called ""Kozo no Yukizarashi,"" it is a traditional technique that has been handed down for close to 800 years in the area. Although it has been handed down as a farmer's winter work, the number of producers has decreased dramatically in recent years. In addition, it is possible to observe the work process by the craftsmen and the actual making of Japanese paper."
