    Irori is a restaurant in a traditional thatched-roof house located in Shirakawa-go village (a UNESCO World Heritage Site) in Gifu Prefecture. Diners can enjoy traditional local dishes made using mountain herbs and vegetables etc. picked locally in Hida, the Shirakawa-go and Gokayama district, while seated round an Irori (a hearth constructed in a depression in the floor). Popular menu items include the “Hida Beef Cooked on a Ceramic Board–Set Meal” for which diners can specify how well-cooked they want the premium Hida beef to be, the “Grilled Tofu Set Meal” made with the unique local Shirakawa-ko Tofu, and the “Hoba Miso Set Meal” made using Hoba Miso, a famous Hida-Takayama region specialty.

    We took a bus from Takayama and had lunch at Shirakawa-go. It was very delicious. It is also a restaurant I want to visit. is.

    About a two-minute walk from the Shirakawa-go Bus Terminal, this restaurant built with a gassho (large thatched roof) style is located in the world heritage site called Shirakawa-go. You can enjoy simple and warm regional cuisine made with local ingredients. One recommended dish is the “oyaji wazen (Japanese hot pot with bear meat).” It has a wild animal taste that they have offered for more than 30 years, but they finish it with miso to remove the smell so that tourists not used to bear meat can eat it more easily. One of their other popular menu items is the “hoba miso wazen (Hida beef)” with a traditional flavor they have guarded since their opening. It also has a parking lot that can be used by large buses.

    Went in for lunch. There is an array of set lunches. However, we were short of time, so we only ordered ramen. Very quickly, we were served the ramen. Awesome ramen.

  • Keichan Suginoko

    Gifu Pref. Geroshi Ogawa 1311
    Keichan is a regional dish from the Hida and Gero areas of Gifu Prefecture, and Suginoko is a great place to try it. The shop is five minutes south of JR Gero Station by car via Prefectural Route 440 along the Hida River, near the Masuda Highway overpass. Their superb keichan consists of chicken thigh meat cooked with cabbage and their secret sauce in a Genghis Kan grill pan. It goes great with rice and Japanese shochu, and we recommend finishing off the meal by mixing in fried yakisoba noodles. There are also a variety of other local dishes on their menu such as Gero’s konyaku gelatin sashimi and Hida beef grilled with miso.

    A restaurant located in front of Gero City Hall which offers a variety of dishes made with Hida beef. In addition to standard teishoku set meals, the restaurant also serves steaks, sukiyaki, misoyaki, Hida beef teishoku set meals, and much more. You can also enjoy the restaurant’s own take on the tomato-don, a local Gero dish, which consists of Hida beef served over rice with tomatoes and egg on top; as well as a pork tomato rice bowl which combines tomatoes and rice with clean-tasting Hida Nattoku pork. In addition, the restaurant serves keichan chicken stir fry, another local Gero dish. One more nice thing about this establishment; it’s open until 23:00.

    We visited Enzo while we were in Gero Onsen for vacation. It was a little away from the main drag, so we were the only customers. We ordered Hida Beef Hamburg, Hida Beef Houba Miso set, and Hida Beef...

    This restaurant sells “Keichan”, a local specialty of Gifu Prefecture. It is located close to National Route 257 heading for Butai Pass. Keichan is seasoned chicken grilled with cabbage and other vegetables, and is said to have originated from Jingisukan (grilled mutton) cuisine. Their most popular menu item is the “Keichan set” that has a traditional taste going back more than 50 years. Cooking it yourself is what makes it distinctive, and there is also a detailed manual for first-timers. The rich chicken flavor goes well with rice and also great as a snack with sake. The store is very popular with locals as well as tourists.

Tucked away in the very center of Japan, Gifu prefecture houses mountains, old towns, and one of Japan’s greatest hot springs, Gero Onsen. A tour of the prefecture’s traditional architecture will take you from the mountain-enveloped wooden streets of Takayama to the mountain village of Shirakawago, where visitors can explore 250-year-old thatched roofed houses known as gassho-zukuri.
