    Gifu Gujo-shi Meiho Otani
    The largest tributary of the Nagara River, which flows east to west through Yawata-cho, Gujo City, and joins the Nagara River running north to south in the middle of the city, Gujo City's Yawata-cho was originally developed by the Yoshida River and developed as a castle town. From the Miyagase Bridge over the river, one can see the crystal clear water so clear that one can count the stones on the bottom of the river.
  • Itadori River
    Travel / Tourism
    Gifu Pref. Sekishi Itadori
    A clear river running south to north almost through the exact center of the former village of Itadori a 40 minute drive from the Mino Interchange on the Tokai-Hokuriku Expressway. The quality of the river’s waters is high and it is a popular destination for rafting and fishing. The area around the river is also dotted with campgrounds, and the river sees many visitors, particularly during the camping season in summer. The river’s waters are highly transparent, and a boat or raft on the river looks as if it is floating in thin air. The seasonal scenery and interplay of water and green foliage here attracts many tourists both from within the prefecture and throughout Japan.

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.
