    Gifu Takayama-shi Honmachi
    A bridge spanning the Miyagawa River flowing through Takayama City. The bridge spans the 1 Chome Hon-machi and Kamisannomachi neighborhoods. Notable for its traditional style crimson handrail, the bridge is a popular photo destination. Many visitors come here particularly in spring during the cherry blossom bloom to take a picture of the crimson bridge standing out amidst the pink flowers. The bridge is also specially lit up at night four times a year during peak tourism periods in spring, summer, fall, and winter. Visitors can enjoy the unique, seasonal scenery at each time.

  • Yanaka Mizu no Komichi

    Gifu Pref. Gujoushi Hachimanchoushinmachi Inaricho
    An old canal located a five minute drive from the Gujo-Hachiman Interchange on the Tokai-Hokuriku Expressway. The Gujo-Hachiman area is known for having some of the cleanest water in the country and is dotted with scenic waterways. This canal area is a pocket park which serves as a symbol of the water-rich Gujo-Hachiman area. Due to the many art museums along its length, the canal area is also known as “Art Museum Street.” The area’s stone paved path with the canal’s waters flowing along its side; rows of willows; and large, elegant Japanese homes are a breath of fresh air in the middle of the city.

    Gifu Pref. Gifushi Nagara Fukumitsu
    A bridge spanning the Nagara River in Gifu City, Gifu Prefecture which is one of the city’s most well-known. Often depicted in Taisho period picture postcards, the bridge ranks alongside cormorant fishing as one of the symbols of Gifu Prefecture. The bridge was first built in the Meiji period; the current reinforced concrete bridge is the fourth one to be built here. Cormorant fishing spectating boats pass beneath the bridge, while a statue of a cormorant fishermen and a monument to Hiroshi Itsuki’s hit song ”Nagaragawa Enka” stand at the south end of the bridge.

  • Miboro Dam
    Travel / Tourism
    Gifu Pref. Onogunshirakawamura Maki
    A hydroelectric dam holding back Miboro Lake pooling on the east side of Hideridake. 131 meters tall, it is the largest rockfill dam in Japan, and the amount of water stored in this massive structure’s reservoir is also the second greatest in the country. The emerald green waters of the dam lake reflect the surrounding plants and trees, creating a particularly beautiful contrast in autumn when the fall foliage is at its peak. This beautiful site has also been selected as one of the 33 best locations for viewing fall foliage in the Hida-Mino area. Another area highlight is a cherry tree over 400 years old called the Shokawa-sakura (designated a National Natural Monument) growing on the bank of Miboro Lake. The tree would have been submerged by the lake with the building of the dam, but instead was moved to its current location in a massive undertaking detailed in an episode of the popular NHK documentary series “Project X.”

    Gifu Ibi-gun Ibigawa Cho Higashiyokoyama

    奥いび湖というのがこのダム湖の別名らしいです。 揖斐川町から琵琶湖にむかって国道303号線を走っていくと、大きな吊橋風の橋でダム湖の最下流部付近を渡ります。 大きくて複雑なダム湖だけれど、周辺道路はカーブが多いのであまりじっくり見ることができませんでした。
