Gifu Pref. Minoshi Izumichou 1883

This is the former residence of the Imai family who were wealthy merchants in what today is Mino City. Originally built in the middle of the Edo Period, it was reportedly expanded in the early Meiji Period. As paper merchants and the head of the village, they were extremely wealthy, and the house was the most splendid in the region. The Meiji Period addition included a three-meter skylight. The courtyard has an elegant suikinkutsu, used to make a special dripping sound, and has been designated as one of the Top 100 Soundscapes of Japan. Mino historic museum is at the back. Its Udatsu Kura has displays on udatsu (old roof ridges) and you can learn about Niwaka (an impromptu comic play) in its Niwaka Kura.

Although the work cannot be touched, you are free to take photographs. There is also a museum shop lined with highly artistic lanterns. The wooden two-stories building is a nationally registered tangible cultural property since it is a valuable structure that is as it was in the early Showa era (1926-1989).

A MUST when in Mino. It is very beautiful. An exhibition of many lanterns and paper craft. It was my second visit here.

Gifu Pref. Sekishi Mugegawachoutaniguchi Terao

A park situated along a Prefectural Route connecting to the Terao Pass a 20 minute drive from the Mino Interchange. The park is a renowned destination for viewing cherry blossoms in spring. The park got its start when local residents planted some 300 cherry trees in prayer for peace shortly after the end of WWII in 1951. Today, around 1,000 cherry trees grow along a two kilometer stretch of the Prefectural Route. The best time to view the blossoms is from early through mid-April. During the cherry blossom season, the trees are also lit up at night, providing visitors with a different landscape from that which can be enjoyed during the daytime. In addition, paper lanterns are hung from the trees and stalls and a tea house open up during this time, delighting the many tourists who come here to see the flowers.
