  • Nagaragawa River
    Travel / Tourism
    Gifu Prefecture
    A river which flows through the center of Gifu City, Gifu Prefecture and which has been selected as one of the 100 most renowned waterways in the country. The river has been featured in songs by Goro Noguchi and Hiroshi Itsuki and also appeared in a novel by Yasunari Kawabata. A walking path is maintained which leads upriver from the NagarabashiBridge, and during the cormorant fishing season, visitors can watch the action up close from here while Gifu Castle, lit up with large floodlights, looms in the background. Some 400 Yoshino cherries grow on the left bank of the river, and when the trees are in full bloom in early April, crowding the shoreline, the area bustles with visitors come to see the blossoms.

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.
