    Gifu Tajimi Honmachi
    "A retro townscape of merchant houses and warehouses built between the early Meiji and Showa eras, the 400-meter-long area is dotted with Mino ware stores, galleries, cafes, etc. It was created in an effort to incorporate the free and innovative ideas of Oribe Furuta, a warlord from Gifu Prefecture and a renowned tea master, into modern town development. The ""Ceramic City Creation Hall,"" located in the center of the town, offers a wide variety of ceramics, from traditional Mino ware to works by young ceramic artists."

    多治見駅から徒歩15分ほど。多治見橋を渡ったあたりにあります。このあたりは明治から昭和初期にかけて、美濃焼の問屋が軒を並べ、多治見の商業の中心地として大いに栄えたところ。今でも大きな問屋や古いお店が軒を並べていて、名残があります。陶器屋さんや食事処も古民家を利用したりしており、風情があります。

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.
