Gifu Prefecture, located in the center of Honshu, Japan, has been a place of conflict among warlords since the Japanese Warring States Period. Gujo Hachiman Castle was a defensive fortress built by the military commander Endo Morikazu in the late Warring States period. The stone wall under the castle has completely preserved its appearance in the early days of construction. Gujo Hachiman Castle, located on the mountainside, is often surrounded by mountain mist and is known as "the most beautiful mountain castle in Japan" and "the castle in the sky". The altitude is 353.95m. It takes about 20 to 30 minutes to reach the mountain from the foot of the mountain along the irregular stone brick road, which is surrounded by maple forests. The castle is not large, and the wooden tower was built in 1933 based on the Ogaki Castle before it was destroyed in the war. Walking on the creaking floor gives people a sense of history and the unique charm of wooden buildings. The castle now displays the historical origins of the late Warring States period, military armor and military supplies of generals, and the living conditions of that time. The castle tower has four or five floors, and there are bold courtyards from the first to the second floor, which is one of the charms of Gujo Hachiman Castle that cannot be found in other castles. The most beautiful moment of Gujo Hachiman Castle is when the first ray of sunlight shines out in the morning and the clouds disperse. The white castle tower stands majestically under the sky and surrounded by nature, with overwhelming momentum and beauty, overlooking the Gujo Hachiman Castle Town. When the weather is fine, the sky is clear and you can clearly see that the entire Gujo Hachiman Castle Town is shaped like a fish. Because of its remote location, there are few tourists and it is not overly commercialized, so you can enjoy a rare silence here.

I would like to introduce a less popular Gujo Hachiman Castle in Gifu Prefecture. It is mainly for seeing some old Japanese street buildings. The other is the Gujo Hachiman Castle on the mountain. In autumn, the mountain is covered with red leaves, which is beautiful under the sunshine. It’s just that there are so many tourists in autumn that the road is closed and it takes more than ten minutes to walk up the mountain. But the beautiful view you see on the mountain is definitely worth it🍁 #tripcom5th anniversary #Overseas travel

The ancient streets and ancient temples of Shangbafan in central Japan are quiet and elegant. The street in the city under the mountainside of Gossip Castle, crossing the old street and the waterway, both sides are the wooden houses preserved in the Edo period, and a low-key but welcome view. The first time I came to the Gossip, I used to walk in the old streets of Shira-machi, Igaya-machi and Liumachi. I especially like to flow through the waterways between the old streets of Yasaka, and these waterways were built for fire prevention in the seventeenth century. Nowadays, it has become a tourist resource, and because of its excellent water quality, it is still drinking water as a local resident. There are also a variety of shops selling local products on the old street. We bought the savory savory in the county, the savory savory that was eaten in the morning in Gero, and the rich persimmon that was seen all the way. The Mahayana Temple is a hidden temple on the staff floor. At the beginning we walked through the door without paying attention. It was to see a group of Japanese tour groups with guides turning in from the thin alleys. We only thought that it should be inside. Have a nice view. There is no one in the Mahayana Temple, only four of us. At the foot of the big red maple, there are already thick leaves, and the door of the temple is closed, surrounded by ancient trees.

Speaking of Japanese tourism, many people still have the impression that they stay in Osaka, a big city like Tokyo. In fact, there are many quiet and beautiful small cities in Japan worth visiting. Yoshigami Hachiman is located in the center of Omein in the center of Gifu Prefecture, Japan. It is a castle town built in the 16th century. So far, the small town still retains the appearance of Japanese streets in the Edo period, especially the residences of various craftsmen and staff. The artisan town and the staff town are quaint and full of charm. In the summer, there are 30 nights of dance in the county. It is very special. The small town is not big, there are not many tourists, even in the golden week, there are not many people, the tricky river, the playful children, the friendly and harmonious neighborhood, constitute a fascinating harmonious picture. Walking down the city town, you can hear the sound of the water everywhere, very comfortable.
