[Inuyama Castle]
Inuyama Castle was built during the Muromachi period on a small hill next to the Kiso River. It is also known as Hakutei-jo (White Emperor Castle), a name familiar to Chinese travelers, as it was inspired by Li Bai's poem 'Departing from Baidi City at Dawn.' The keep of Inuyama Castle is one of the twelve remaining original castle keeps in Japan. Its style is relatively ancient, and it is ranked alongside Himeji, Matsumoto, and Hikone castles as one of the 'Four National Treasure Castles of Japan.' It has 3 exterior levels and 4 interior levels, with 2 basement levels, which is rare among Japanese castle keeps. Visitors are allowed to explore these levels and observe the various structural elements of the castle. On the 4th floor, the top level, you can step out onto the exterior corridor to enjoy the view. Every Thursday, you can watch a free performance by the Aichi Prefecture Sengoku Princess Squad, which is similar to the Nagoya Castle Samurai Squad and well worth seeing.
[Gujo Hachiman Castle]
Gujo Hachiman is located in Yanagi-machi, Hachiman-cho, Gujo City, Gifu Prefecture. It was built by Endo Morikazu in 1559 and is also known as Sekisui Castle or Gujo Castle, making it one of the representative ancient castles in Gifu Prefecture. Gujo Hachiman Castle was destroyed due to the abolition of the feudal system during the Meiji Restoration. The current castle was rebuilt in the early 20th century, and only the stone walls remain from the original structure. However, the townscape with its red-latticed houses is still preserved today. In 1993, Gifu Prefecture rebuilt the keep of Gujo Hachiman Castle, modeling it after the nearby Ogaki Castle. This keep is a rare wooden structure and has been designated as a Tangible Cultural Property of Gujo City, housing many weapons and armor from that era.
[Old Town Walk] (120 minutes, including time)
The center of Takayama City, located in the heart of the Hida region in northern Gifu Prefecture, preserves the complete form of the castle town and merchant town from the Edo period. It is therefore known as 'Little Kyoto of Hida.' You can stroll through the 'Sanmachi' district built during the Meiji and Taisho eras, taste local delicacies like Hida beef and Takayama ramen, and admire crafts that embody the superb skills of Hida artisans. Hida Takayama is full of charm everywhere you look.
[Ena Gorge]
Ena Gorge is an artificial lake formed approximately 80 years ago when the Oi Dam was built across the Kiso River. It was named Ena Gorge in 1920 by the geographer Shiga Shigetaka. Ena Gorge features unique rock formations created by natural erosion, stretching from the artificial lake formed by the Oi Dam up to Nakatsugawa in the upper reaches. The Umbrella Rock, which looks like an umbrella thrust into the ground, is a nationally designated natural monument and, along with the Red Rock covered in brownish-red moss, is one of the iconic rock formations in the gorge.
【Magome-juku】【Tsumago-juku】
Magome-juku, which earned one star in the Michelin Green Guide, is located on a very steep road that was difficult for horses to traverse. Because travelers had to leave their horses at the inn, it was named Magome-juku. It is said that in ancient times, this was a mandatory stop for brides in the mountains waiting for their grooms before marriage, hence the name 'Tsumago'.
Toki Premium Outlets (approx. 180 minutes)
The streetscape of 'Toki Premium Outlets' is modeled after the magnificent Rocky Mountains in Colorado, USA, and features approximately 140 stores. There are direct-managed stores from top brands both in Japan and abroad, offering a wide range of popular items. At Toki Premium Outlets, in addition to fashion apparel and accessories, there are many stores where you can purchase household goods. You can find French enameled cast iron cookware brand Le Creuset, Japanese lifestyle brand Francfranc, and practical kitchenware brand T-fal. If you are visiting with children, you can shop for exquisite clothing at Japanese children's wear brands like Mezzo Piano and Miki House. There are also stores like LEGO and Moomin Stand, allowing you to enjoy a fun time with your family.
In the food court at Toki Premium Outlets, you can taste Nagoya-style ankake spaghetti at Dela Pasta Kitchen, enjoy fried chicken and oyakodon at the famous Torikai Sohonke, or try the rich soy sauce ramen from Hida Takayama at Yoshidaya. Additionally, there are chain coffee shops like Tully's Coffee and the popular popcorn specialty store Garrett Popcorn.
