Gifu Essentials
Gifu combines Sengoku-period history with unique cultural traditions. At its heart lies Mount Kinka, topped by Gifu Castle and accessible via ropeway. The city is renowned for the 1,300-year-old practice of ukai (cormorant fishing) on the Nagara River, detailed at the dedicated Ukai Museum. Cultural landmarks include the Great Buddha of Shoho-ji and the Toyo Ito-designed Gifu Media Cosmos. Nature and history converge at Gifu Park and Bairin Park, while Gifu City Tower 43 offers panoramic views of the Nobi Plain.
