    Travel / Tourism
    Gifu Gujo-shi Yamatocho Maki
    This Shinto shrine is said to have been founded in the early 13th century. Its beginnings are said to be associated with Tou Taneyuki of the Tou clan who participated meritoriously in the Jokyu War and received this territory, transferring the spirit of Myoken Bosatsu, the patron deity of the Chiba clan. Gifu Prefecture has designated the shrine's Nanoka Festival held every year on August 7th as an Important Intangible Folk Cultural Property. About 100 cherry trees of various sizes are planted along the roughly 250-meter approach to the shrine. The tunnel of cherry blossoms that forms when the trees are in full bloom from early to mid-April has been selected as one of the Top 33 Spots to View Cherry Blossom in the Hida-Mino region.

    Gifu Gujo-shi Hachimancho Honmachi 870
    A soba noodle shop near the Sogi-sui Spring (also known as Hakuun-sui), which was certified among the best of Japan's Top 100 Famous Water by the Ministry of the Environment. They use this great Gujo water along with carefully selected domestic soba flour to make their noodles. Their most popular meal is their chilled zaru soba noodle and Hida beef rice bowl set, featuring buckwheat noodles with a pleasant texture and aroma and a small Hida beef bowl prepared with soba broth. Offering a little taste of luxury in a casual atmosphere, their Hida beef bowls are often sold out due to limited quantities. Abandoning the air of exclusiveness that some soba shops have, their Chomolungma zaru soba featuring an extra-large serving of noodles is popular with young people challenging themselves to eat it all.

    On the way to Takayama-Shi we decided to try the soba in Gujo. There’re two good soba eatery there and we managed to eat in Soba no Hirajin (rated #2 in TripAdvisor) and we would rate it excellent...
