A little travel guide with Tabi
Start slowly, with one place.
Find a view and a small meal.
岐阜市
Begin in Gifu City below Mount Kinka, with a park, a distinctive Buddha and historic streets near the Nagara River. This guide covers the city rather than a tour of the entire prefecture.
This guide covers places within Gifu, rather than places immediately beside your app check-in.
01 · EXPLORE
Three places with different atmospheres. Start with the one that appeals to you instead of visiting them all.
01A first-visit stop
岐阜公園
Pause among trees and paths below Mount Kinka without climbing to the summit. The photograph dates from 2007 and may differ from today. Check official notices about trail restrictions during Gifu Castle renovation.
Getting there
Check park-bound buses from JR or Meitetsu Gifu station
02A first-visit stop
正法寺
The temple’s large Buddha has a framework including wood and bamboo, finished with lacquer and gold leaf. Learn how it differs from a metal statue. The photograph shows the entrance; check arrangements for viewing the Buddha inside.
Getting there
Approach from the Gifu-koen/Gifu-jo bus stop
A first-visit stop
川原町界隈
Explore lattice-fronted townhouses and shops adapted from storehouses around Minatomachi, Tamaicho and Motohamacho. Notice the riverside trading heritage while respecting private properties and shop rules.
Getting there
Check the approach from Nagarabashi bus stop
02 · A LITTLE BITE
Ayu-gashi is a fish-shaped Gifu confection. Tamaiya’s Nobori-ayu wraps gyuhi in a cake-like shell; the shape does not make it a fish dish. Products vary by maker, so check ingredients and storage instructions.
Official guide03 · YOUR FIRST WALK
