Where is Gifu: Gifu is very convenient to go. From a bustling city Nagoya, located a central japan, it is only thirty minutes ride of rail way. Nagoya has an international airport, and has a large railway station where almost all railways converge, including a bullet train, Shinkansen.
Gifu castle: Oda Nobunaga's great castle is located on the top of the mountain. Unfortunately, the castle was fallen apart, and the current castle was rebuilt later. But you can feel what the days of Nobunaga was like if you visit there. The mountain itself is conserved, so the castle is surrounded in a deep forest.
You can climb to the top of the mountain, but you can also ride a cable train whose cost is 1000 yen, round trip. From the top of the castle, you can see the great view which Nobunaga would have enjoyed.
the river which flows at the foot of the mountain is Nagara River, which is very famous for Ukai, in which waterbirds catch river fish for human beings.
Shrine: Shrine is the place for Japanese people to pray for their luck. In Gifu, there is a unique shrine. The name is Golden Shrine., whose gate is gold. If you visit there, you are believed to be rich.
