Gifu Castle
岐阜城 （Gifu-jo）
Look down upon Gifu City from the keep of this castle said to be impregnable, commanding a view from the top of the mountain!
The castle is accessible from Gifu Park via the Mt. Kinka Ropeway. From the upper room of the keep, you can enjoy a panoramic view of the entire city and beyond. Take your time to savor every bit of the landscape that the ancient rulers used to enjoy!
Mt. Kinka, especially the area around the castle, is famous for the beauty of its autumn scenery, and the best time to visit if you want to see these colors is during the month of November.
