Gifu, Japan Summary
Gifu photo

On the other side of the Kiso-gawa from Inuyama is Gifu-ken, with its capital, GIFU, 20km further west. The city pretty much repeats the formula of ukai on a meandering river overlooked by a hilltop castle, but is otherwise a bigger and more modern place, rebuilt after the double whammy of an earthquake in 1891 and blanket bombings during World War II. The city is also renowned for its production of paper umbrellas and lanterns and it’s possible to visit a couple of workshops, although you might not always be able to see the craftspeople at work.
