    Gifu Pref. Hidashi Furukawachousugou Plateau
    Spreading across the southern foothills of Takayama, the Sugo highlands are a place for fully enjoying beautiful nature, from the blessings of the mountain to the flow of water from springs in limestone caves to a hundred or so creeks flowing into town. In the vicinity of these clear springs, natural wasabi (horseradish) appears in spring, followed by the Sansai Festival from late May to early June and the Kinoko Festival in October. During September’s Fall Festival, there is a dedication ceremony for Sugo Shishi—an Important Intangible Folk Cultural Property for Gifu Prefecture. It’s well worth a look!

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.
