Inaba, but it came to be called “Kinka,” “golden blossom,” due to the many Japanese Chinquapin trees which grow on its slops and turn the mountain gold with their blossoms in early May.

A facility called Squirrel Village, where visitors can see a variety of squirrels living comfortably and freely in natural environments, is located near the mountaintop ropeway station as well as a store and scenic overlook restaurant, and many people visit this popular destination.

    Gifu Gifu-shi Inabadori 1-8 Gifu Zenkoji
    This shop sells thin crusted taiyaki, fish-shaped pancakes filled with bean jam. The shop is on the approach to Inaba Shrine, one of Gifu's top power spots. Carefully baked one-by-one, they're nice and crispy and the bean jam is just sweet enough. They also have limited availability items like taiyaki stuffed with Hida apple and sweet potato, and in summer they serve shaved ice smothered in fruit. When ordering several items to take away, we recommend placing your order, visiting Inaba Shrine or Gifu Zenkoji Temple, and then picking them up on your way home. It is not uncommon to see people walking away with packs of ten.
