GIFU PARK (GIFU-KŌEN)

Natural site to discover

Three kilometers north of the station, one can stroll in this park built in 1888, at the foot of a group of hills and small mountains bordered by the Nagara gawa river. One can appreciate there the sanctuary of Inaba-jinja, the museum of the insects of Nawa, the museum of history of the town of Gifu, as well as a pagoda with three floors. The park is dominated by Mount Kinka. Oda Nobunaga, master of Gifu Castle, built his residence here. The cable car to Mount Kinka takes four minutes to reach the top, from which there are walking trails.
