Gifu Prefecture Hida・Takayama・Gero Area

The beautiful scene of ayu fish swimming in the moat against the white-colored wall as a background is a sight that can only be seen only in Hida-Furukawa. Take a leisurely walk while enjoying the monotone color streets where sake breweries and storehouses stand in a row. Look at things like degoushi (projecting lattice windows) and big sugidama (a round shaped object made of the leaves of the cedar tree) in the streets.
