  • Nagataki Hakusan Shrine
    Travel / Tourism
    Gifu Pref. Gujoushi Shirotorichounagataki 91
    Nagataki Hakusan Shrine, located in the city of Gujo, is a shrine of the Hakusan group that worships Mt. Hakusan as the water god. Once part of the Hakusan Chugu Choryuji Temple, founded by the monk Taicho in the eighth century, it split off from the temple in the 1870s, when the Japanese government forced Buddhism and Shinto to start functioning as separate religions. There are stone lanterns said to be products of the Kamakura period (1185-1334) on the shrine grounds, and the treasure house contains many cultural artifacts, such as Showa no tsubo, Teboko (hand spear), and No drama masks. Among them are items that have been designated National Important Cultural Properties. Every year on January 6, the shrine celebrates a festival that has been designated a National Important Intangible Folk Cultural Property, Nagataki no Ennen. In the midst of dancing, visitors try to grab flowers, such as cherry blossoms and peonies, that are hung from the ceiling of the main building. This custom gives the festival its other name, the flower grabbing festival.

    Gifu Pref. Kanishi Kakida 416-1

    岐阜県の10万都市・可児市にある道の駅。規模はやや小ぶりで土日は結構にぎわいますがキャパシティが小さく感じです。たまに珍しいものや新鮮な野菜を売っているためJAとれったひろば感覚で使ってます。 電気自動車の充電器がないのは惜しいです…東海環状の可児御嵩インターも近いんで設置を要望します。 雨が降っている場合、平日は時間が潰せますが休日だと厳しいかもしれません。
