Gifu Gero-shi Koden 1348-8

A soba restaurant right in front of Gero Station. Their nihachi-soba noodles (80/20 buckwheat/udon flour mix) are hand-made daily from carefully selected domestic buckwheat that they stone-grind themselves. The noodles have a mild aroma and taste great going down. They also sell Sasa-zushi, a Gero Onsen specialty, consisting of bite-sized sushi wrapped in a bamboo leaf. They offer three varieties: sea bream, salmon, and mackerel. With just a hint of the bamboo leaf's fragrance, try one and you may want more. You can also get other items you'd expect to find at a soba shop, like soba miso, stewed Hida beef, skewered rice dumplings in a sweet soy glaze, and goheimochi rice cakes on a stick.

Gifu Gero-shi Yunoshima 124-1

This shop manufactures and sells Gero Onsen's famous Tochinomi Senbei rice crackers. Made with chestnut and wheat flour produced in Gifu Prefecture, the shop has used the same recipe since its founding more than 50 years ago. The crackers are slightly hard and deliver a light aroma of chestnuts when bitten. They're the ideal Gero souvenir. Other rice crackers include a tasty lightly baked low-sugar version and their kayanomi senbei, a Western version with a blend of butter and Japanese nutmeg (kaya). They're available at various inns and souvenir shops throughout Gero City, as well as at their main factory.

Gifu Ono-gun Shirakawamura Ogimachi 1786-3

This soba buckwheat restaurant is located approximately five minutes from Shirakawago Interchange at the entrance of the World Heritage Site, Historic Villages of Shirakawa-go and Gokayama. Using only native varieties of buckwheat and handling it from cultivation, the restaurant has been counted as a farmer's restaurant by the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries as a certified farmer for 40 years. Their freshly cooked buckwheat noodles ground with a stone mill have a delicate taste that changes in flavor over time. Their blackish thickly cut buckwheat noodles are a prized dish where you can enjoy the refreshing flavor of the buckwheat itself. In addition, their baked confectionery using buckwheat flour is also counted as a sixth industry certified product, and is also listed in Michelin Guide Gifu 2019.

This restaurant was a recommendation by our guide and is located close to the Shirakawa-go historic village. The soba noodle restaurant is located in a scenic setting and on entering the building...

Gifu Hida-shi Furukawacho Ichinomachi 3-10

This art museum uses a machiya (traditional wooden townhouse) in Hida-Furukawa, and is located a five-minute walk from Hida-Furukawa Station. The museum is the shoin style of traditional Japanese residential architecture that exemplifies the skills of Hida's craftsman, and exhibits Japanese paintings from artists such as Taikan Yokoyama and Gyokudo Kawai, and cultural exhibits such as Koimari from the 17th to the 19th century, and Daimyo Hanami Shigeshi from the 18th to the 19th century. There is even a cafe where you can enjoy special sweets, coffee and beef stew while you relax in front of a Japanese traditional garden. The museum is so well integrated into the city landscape that it is almost unnoticeable at first glance, and has won the Scenery Design Award.

A visit to Hineno is exquisite and divine! Not to be missed. Try to sit by the garden window. I recommend trying both the cheesecake and the scone.

Gifu Hida-shi Furukawacho Sannomachi 1-16

This authentic handmade soba buckwheat noodle shop is where you can enjoy noodles made with coarse flour from Hidashokawa. To enjoy the original sweetness and aroma of buckwheat, this shop's suggested way of enjoying it is to have the first bite without dipping sauce but with Andes rock salt. The original simple and fresh taste of buckwheat spreads in your mouth as you eat it. You can taste a deeper and different taste with salt if you have it with wasabi from Hidasugo after enjoying its aroma. Sobayu (hot water left in the pot after boiling soba) is a strong type that is slightly thick. It is rich in rutin, which is said to be effective in lowering blood pressure.

Great restaurant with some clearly marked vegan options - we had tempura and the hot soba noodles. Taste was good and price reasonable - the proprietors were friendly and very helpful when it came to...

Gifu Hida-shi Kamiokacho Morimo 1940

"This cafeteria attached to the Yamanomura Camping Ground at an altitude of 1,000 meters. You can enjoy Yamanomura's specialty products in the mountains surrounded by broad-leaved forests of trees such as white birch and Japanese beech. The specialty is the ""Yamanomura Soba"" which comes in two varieties: ""Hikigurumi (Ground Buckwheat)"" and ""Dattan (Tartary Buckwheat)."" Everything for making soba noodles from cultivation to milling is done in Yamanomura. Dattan buckwheat is cultivated taking advantage of the locality of Yamanomura which is located at a high altitude, and characteristically contains more rutin polyphenols compared to ordinary buckwheat. It is said to prevent lifestyle disease and have a good effect on the skin, and on busy days, it is not uncommon for the dish to sell out."

Gifu Hida-shi Kamiokacho Funatsu 1077-1

"This long-established Japanese confectionery shop is located a three-minute drive from Kamioka Castle. They sell specialty Sasamaki Yokan (sweet bean jelly wrapped in a bamboo leaf), fluffy castella (sponge cake) and hand-made rice cakes that are sold only in the winter. A famous confection in Kamioka, Sasamaki Yokan is made by hardening sweet bean jelly liquid and pouring it into kumazasa (kuma bamboo grass) that is folded like a butterfly. This sweet bean jelly has an aroma and leaf vein from a bamboo leaf clearly, and its light taste is great for gifts. It is mentioned in a haiku by one of the leading female haiku poets of the Showa period (1926-1989), Teijo Nakamura, in her book ""Furusato no Meika (Famous confectionery in hometown)."""

Gifu Pref. Onogunshirakawamura Ogimachi 2671-1

This restaurant is located in Shirakawago, a world heritage site. You can enjoy a meal inside this kominka (old house) with a gassho (large thatched roof) style built over 250 years ago. Their menu is centered on unique local char dishes, mountain vegetable dishes, and meat grilled on magnolia leaves. Because they often receive many reservations by large groups, sometimes you can only visit by reserving in advance depending on the time of year. In addition, the second floor has an exhibition room decorated with old everyday items that depicts the lifestyle at the time to modern audiences.

Gifu Pref. Onogunshirakawamura Ogimachi 354

About a two-minute walk from the Shirakawa-go Bus Terminal, this restaurant built with a gassho (large thatched roof) style is located in the world heritage site called Shirakawa-go. You can enjoy simple and warm regional cuisine made with local ingredients. One recommended dish is the “oyaji wazen (Japanese hot pot with bear meat).” It has a wild animal taste that they have offered for more than 30 years, but they finish it with miso to remove the smell so that tourists not used to bear meat can eat it more easily. One of their other popular menu items is the “hoba miso wazen (Hida beef)” with a traditional flavor they have guarded since their opening. It also has a parking lot that can be used by large buses.

Went in for lunch. There is an array of set lunches. However, we were short of time, so we only ordered ramen. Very quickly, we were served the ramen. Awesome ramen.

This Japanese and Western sweet shop is in Koden, Gero City, Gifu Prefecture. Their Japanese sweet called “namadora with a filling of fresh cream and tsubuan bean paste sandwiched between pancakes made from local red eggs and milk is a local favorite. They also sell limited time items filled with the flavors of the season. Their “Wa-MORI-mori Parfait with fresh cream and fruit on kudzu mochi starch cake and sponge cake is popular too. It’s easy to hold on to and great for walking about the hot spring district.

They use milk from the local Bokuseisha (an industry producing and selling milk and dairy products), fresh Momiji eggs (a brand egg whose eggshell color is brown) within two days after laying, and as much fruit as possible from the Hida region. The most popular item is the Gateau Swiss Roll, which is made of puff pastry sheet and sponge baked separately and rolled with fresh cream. There are many other items such as Genuine Swiss Roll featuring fluffy sponge, petit gateaux using seasonal fruits, baked sweets, and gifts.

Masuen Bunsuke serves simple flavored Shirakawago cuisine. Housed in a building with gassho-zukuri (steep sloping roof) architecture, it's like something out of a folk tale. While gazing out at the seasonal scenery, guests enjoy cuisine with a focus on fresh water fish. They harvest the char, red spotted trout, and rainbow trout they raise in spring water from their 14 fish ponds and prepare it while fresh. Along with home-grown rice, homemade miso, and the best wild vegetables, you'll love the down-home flavors of Shirakawago.

It is a beautiful and very nice place, we came here for our lunch and its very happy with it, they have traditional foods and the quality are perfect. The owner are warmly welcome and very friendly...
Keichan Suginoko

Gifu Pref. Geroshi Ogawa 1311

Keichan is a regional dish from the Hida and Gero areas of Gifu Prefecture, and Suginoko is a great place to try it. The shop is five minutes south of JR Gero Station by car via Prefectural Route 440 along the Hida River, near the Masuda Highway overpass. Their superb keichan consists of chicken thigh meat cooked with cabbage and their secret sauce in a Genghis Kan grill pan. It goes great with rice and Japanese shochu, and we recommend finishing off the meal by mixing in fried yakisoba noodles. There are also a variety of other local dishes on their menu such as Gero’s konyaku gelatin sashimi and Hida beef grilled with miso.

A European style restaurant located in the Suimeikan hot spring hotel. For breakfast, the restaurant serves sweet fresh fruit juices and tomato juice as well as original dishes made with Hida ingredients.

The food was high quality but small portions and quite expensive in the evening. Lunchtime is much better value if you’re able to secure a tasty burger. The wine is very expensive (again more so in...

A restaurant located in front of Gero City Hall which offers a variety of dishes made with Hida beef. In addition to standard teishoku set meals, the restaurant also serves steaks, sukiyaki, misoyaki, Hida beef teishoku set meals, and much more. You can also enjoy the restaurant’s own take on the tomato-don, a local Gero dish, which consists of Hida beef served over rice with tomatoes and egg on top; as well as a pork tomato rice bowl which combines tomatoes and rice with clean-tasting Hida Nattoku pork. In addition, the restaurant serves keichan chicken stir fry, another local Gero dish. One more nice thing about this establishment; it’s open until 23:00.

We visited Enzo while we were in Gero Onsen for vacation. It was a little away from the main drag, so we were the only customers. We ordered Hida Beef Hamburg, Hida Beef Houba Miso set, and Hida Beef...

An authentic Italian cuisine restaurant located in the Gero Onsen hot spring district a 10 minute walk from JR Gero Station. The owner aims to make use of skills cultivated through training in areas throughout Italy combined with ingredients primarily from Hida to serve healthy, delicious food. Particularly recommended is the tomato and mozzarella cheese spaghetti, a classic Italian dish which is made with locally-grown tomatoes. The restaurant has counter and table seating areas as well as booths. Diners sitting at the tables on the west side of the restaurant can enjoy a superb view of the Hida River below along with their meal.

Had the set menu- 5 course. 3 choices of pizza and 4 of pasta or meat/fish at extra cost. Wine was good and reasonable. Half bottle of a nice Sardinian Red cost the same as s glass in the hotel...

This Japanese and Western style restaurant a two-minute walk from JR Hida-Furukawa Station specializes in Hida beef steaks. This is a great place to dine on genuine Hida beef in a Japanese atmosphere. Their popular Hida Beef Mini Sirloin Steak set meal featuring a small, high-quality sirloin steak with seasonal tempura vegetables and more served in cute bowls comes highly recommended. They also have popular steak course meals for spring, summer, autumn, and winter, as well as fun dishes like their Hida-Furukawa Tasting Tour series with offerings tied to local place names.

This small restaurant has English menus and the most amazing food. It is so good, we are tempted to go there again tomorrow rather than trek into Takayama. It closes at 8:30 so you need to get there...
