Day Trip Gifu Highlight Tour by Public Transportation from Nagoya
Gifu City is the capital of Gifu Prefecture, which can be reached from Nagoya in 30 minutes. On the other hand, Gifu City is a place where history is still being carved as a stage of unification of Japan since the Warring States Period, as a merchant town, and as a town that protects traditional fishing industry. It is one of the best places in Japan to visit, especially for those who have once visited Japan and are interested in Japanese history, nature lovers, and those who are interested in the townscape and culture typical of Japan. This tour is like a condensed version of the charms of Gifu Castle, the residence of Oda Nobunaga, who briefly united the country, a museum that tells the fascinating story of cormorant fishing, one of Japan's traditional fishing industries, and a walk through old streets where you can feel as if you have stepped back in time to the Warring States period.
