About Gifu
Gifu, the capital of Gifu Prefecture, is a city steeped in the samurai era, famously associated with the warlord Oda Nobunaga who made Gifu Castle his base in the 16th century. The city's identity is intrinsically linked to the Nagara River and the ancient practice of cormorant fishing (ukai), a symbolic tradition that continues every summer night. Culturally, Gifu is known for its traditional crafts, including Mino ware pottery and Gifu lanterns and umbrellas. The main districts include the area around JR Gifu Station, a modern transit hub with shopping and dining, and the historic riverfront near the Cormorant Fishing Viewing area and Gifu Park. The city is also a gateway to the scenic Hida region. Gifu is famous for its castle, its unique fishing method, beautiful parks like Shirotori Garden, and as a center for high-quality cutlery and paper products. It offers a quieter, more historical counterpoint to the bustling metropolises nearby.
Best Time to Visit Gifu
The best time to visit Gifu is during spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November). Spring brings mild temperatures and the stunning cherry blossoms in Gifu Park, creating a magical atmosphere. Autumn offers crisp air and vibrant fall foliage, especially beautiful from the heights of Mount Kinka. Summer (June to August) is the peak season due to the cormorant fishing viewing events, which run from May to October, but it can be hot and humid. The summer also features lively festivals. Winter (December to February) is the off-peak season; it's cold but less crowded, and seeing Gifu Castle against a snowy backdrop is spectacular. Major seasonal events include the Gifu Festival in April, the Nagara River Ukai (cormorant fishing) season from May to October, and autumn leaf-viewing events in November.
