    Took a taxi there and walked back to the town as it is downhill all the way! Nice walk about 35 minutes. The squirrels are cute and don’t need any food to find fun running up your trousers and...

    Gifu Mizunami-shi Akiyocho Togari 331

    一階にテーマごと4つの展示室がありました。先ずは岐阜に残る地歌舞伎で、衣装が派手です。二番目は日本と中国の陶磁器で、紀元前のものから現在まであります。三番目は関ヶ原屏風絵や土岐の守護であった土岐頼芸の掛軸である鷹の図は迫力があります。最後は刀や鎧兜ですが、持ち主の武将が分からず、少々残念でした。

    Gifu Yoro-gun Yoro Cho Washinosu 1646-9

    養老の滝に涼みに行こうとしていた時に道中たまたま見かけて寄りました。お土産屋さんだと思っていたら思いのほかひょうたんについて色々学べる施設で、子供連れの方にもおすすめです。ひょうたんの育つ過程や瓢箪の意味など全く知らなかったのでなかなか楽しめました。ひょうたんを使った商品もたくさんありました。手がかかっているだけあってお値段もそこそこしますが、商品自体はいいものだと思います。

Tucked away in the very center of Japan, Gifu prefecture houses mountains, old towns, and one of Japan’s greatest hot springs, Gero Onsen. A tour of the prefecture’s traditional architecture will take you from the mountain-enveloped wooden streets of Takayama to the mountain village of Shirakawago, where visitors can explore 250-year-old thatched roofed houses known as gassho-zukuri.
