Top 10 Things to do Good for Kids in Gifu, Chubu

September 10, 2021 Emerita Lamoureux

Gifu (岐阜市, Gifu-shi) is a city located in the south-central portion of Gifu Prefecture, Japan, and serves as the prefectural capital. The city has played an important role in Japan's history because of its location in the middle of the country. During the Sengoku period, various warlords, including Oda Nobunaga, used the area as a base in an attempt to unify and control Japan. Gifu continued to flourish even after Japan's unification as both an important shukuba along the Edo period Nakasendō and, later, as one of Japan's fashion centers. It has been designated a core city by the national government.

Gifu Castle / Inabayama Castle

Reviewed By JeffyBirk - Cape Town Central, South Africa

Gifu or Inabayama Castle was an unplanned stop on my travel itinerary. I'm glad I decided to visit Gifu city and its mountaintop castle The castle sits atop Mount Kinkazan and takes about 15 min to get to via bus from the JR station. You can use either the cable car or hiking trails to reach the top. There is a bit more hiking to do once you reach the summit, but it isn't too serious. The castle itself peaks out among the trees of the summit and the building has an impressive color scheme. The castle's interior holds a museum that gives you the background about its history and place in Sengoku-era Japan. The views from the top rival those of any other castle in Japan. You are rewarded with a full 360-degree view of the surrounding city and region as far as Nagoya to the south. Be sure to visit the separate museum next to the castle as it is included in the admission price.

Mt. Kinka

Reviewed By jb158x - Portadown, United Kingdom

Walked up Mt Kinka with family and friends. Took about 1 hour to get up. We took the rope way down as it was getting dark around 5pm. We had a 25 minute way for the rope way at the end of a Sunday. Great views from the top and well worth the visit
