Gifu Park — Attraction in Gifu

One of the best parks to go to during Spring and Autumn! 🍁

The view here is beyond spectacular! My husband and I took our time being mesmerized by the Autumn view before us and words just can't describe how we felt.

This park is right before you climb a bit to the cable car ticket center to get to Kinkazan (Gifu Castle). So if you want to enjoy the view at the park and climb to the castle as well, I suggest you come here early as you would definitely spend a lot of time mesmerizing the view at the park.

Beyond the waterfall, there's a shop selling hot dango, oden, udon, and other foods. It'd be a great final step after a walk at the park in the cool weather. Totally warms your heart! ❤️

There's also a bench and tables if you wanna have a picnic together with your friends, family or loved ones. Picnic underneath an autumn shade?...

It was one of those rare moments in travel when nature’s beauty completely overwhelms you. Gifu Park in spring is not just beautiful—it’s...

If you are contemplating about a hike with your kids for the first time, here is a wonderful place to do that with great motivation at the top, a squirrel village to enjoy. We took the 七曲り登山道 (Seven-turn mountain trail ), 1.9 km long / approx. 60 minutes / suitable for beginners. I enjoyed this route a lot. It was raining buckets that day, yet was only a light shower inside the forest. The trail was relatively wide and well-paved. Yes, the last 200 steps were quite steep, hard to climb for my friends though kids, who used to walk regularly, had no fuss about it. We used a cable car to go down, but be no friends, we would have gone back on foot. Overall, a...
