Rich water and summer festival long run：
Gujohachiman is a town in the center of Gifu Prefecture, A spring becomes the waterway and the daily life water of the people and quenches a town. In addition, the old castle town forms traditional cityscape, and you will feel relaxed while walking in the typical archetypal town of Japan. It’s no exaggeration to say that it is the spiritual home of the Japanese.
We are sure to like such a town.
