[2025 Gifu Attraction] Travel Guide for Gifu Castle (Updated Aug)

Gifu Castle, located on Mount Kinka in Gifu City, is not only a significant cultural heritage site but also a paradise for hiking enthusiasts. This time, I decided to challenge myself by climbing to Gifu Castle and experiencing the beautiful forest journey. Anticipation at the Start Early in the morning, I took public transportation to Gifu City and then walked to the Kinka Ropeway Station following the signs. Along the way, I felt the tranquility and beauty around me, with lush greenery and fresh air invigorating my spirit. The ropeway ride took about ten minutes, and through the glass windows, I enjoyed the scenic views as the majestic landscape of Mount Kinka gradually unfolded before my eyes. The Challenge of the Hiking Route After reaching the upper ropeway station, I began my hike up the mountain. Although the distance to Gifu Castle was not long, it required some physical effort. The path was lined with dense trees and colorful flowers, prompting me to stop and savor the gifts of nature. Along the way, I encountered other hikers, and we encouraged each other, cheering each other on. As the altitude increased, the path became steeper, and I felt the allure and challenge of the exercise. My breathing quickened, my heart rate increased, but I also felt the joy of achieving my goal. There were several observation decks along the way where I paused to enjoy the beautiful scenery and overlook the spectacular view of Gifu City. The Joy of Reaching Gifu Castle After some effort, I finally arrived at the gates of Gifu Castle. The castle's exterior was ancient and majestic, as if telling me stories of history. The castle was originally built in 1583 by the famous Sengoku warlord Oda Nobunaga and later became a symbol of Gifu. Inside the castle, I was captivated by the exquisite architecture and ancient artifacts. The castle houses a museum displaying many items related to Gifu Castle and its history. Here, I not only learned about the castle's past but also experienced the life and culture of the people at that time. A Stunning Viewing Experience The most anticipated part was the observation deck of Gifu Castle. Standing at the highest point of the castle, I overlooked the entire Gifu City and the surrounding mountains. The magnificent scenery made my heart surge with excitement. The distant Gifu Bridge and Nagara River shimmered like a ribbon under the setting sun. This moment of beauty made me appreciate the value and significance of hiking. Conclusion The journey to Gifu Castle was not only a physical challenge but also a spiritual cleansing. The grandeur of nature intertwined with the profound human history made me deeply appreciate the beauty of life. If you also love hiking and exploring, consider climbing to Gifu Castle to experience the wonderful journey of nature and history.

In front of Gifu Station, a golden statue of Nobunaga was standing there welcoming us!! So cool❤️ I took a bus🚌 from the station to Gifu Castle using the "Gifu Castle Ticket"😊It costs 1,400 yen for the Kinkazan Ropeway, Gifu Castle, and unlimited bus rides for one day! It's a great deal👍 I was underestimating Gifu Castle💦💦 After getting off the ropeway, I had to climb a steep staircase for about 7 minutes before I could finally see the castle😂The view of the castle town from the castle tower was misty and mysterious as it was raining lightly, and it was very beautiful😊 #GifuCastle#Castle

Gifu Castle is located about 10 minutes by car from Gifu Station. It is located on the top of Kinka Mountain, which is over 300 meters above sea level. It is one of the top 100 castles in Japan. 📍 Gifu City, Gifu Prefecture 18 🚎 At JR [Gifu Station], transfer to the "N80" Gifu bus or the city loop left-turn bus towards Takatomi, get off at [Gifu Park and History Museum], and then transfer to the Kinkasan Ropeway at Gifu Castle 🎫 "Gifu Castle Museum" Adults 200 yen / Children (4 to 15 years old) 100 yen 🚡 Kinkasan Ropeway Adult round trip 1,080 yen, one way 620 yen / Child (4 to 11 years old) round trip 540 yen, one way 280 yen "Gifu Castle" was called "Inabayama Castle" before it was conquered by the famous general Oda Nobunaga. It was also his final battle to conquer Mino Province after six years of war with the Saito army. After Oda Nobunaga conquered "Inabayama Castle", all the powerful families and retainers in Mino surrendered to the Oda family, allowing Nobunaga to completely occupy Mino Province and renamed the castle "Gifu Castle". About nine years after the Battle of Inabayama Castle, Oda Nobunaga used this castle as a base and the ruling center of the Oda regime, and began to use the seal of "Tenka Fubu". If you want to climb Mt. Kinka and visit Gifu Castle, you can choose to hike for an hour or pay to use the Kinkasan Ropeway. The ropeway only takes about 4 minutes. The scenery you see from the two locations is completely different. If you have time, it is recommended that you take the cable car up the mountain and then slowly walk down the mountain. Kinkayama is 329 meters above sea level, so the view from the Castle Observatory on the top of the mountain is extremely open and unique. For example, you can see the Alps to the north, and the vast Nobi Plain, the streets of Gifu and the Nagara River flowing through it to the south. After seeing the beautiful scenery outside Gifu Castle, I felt that this trip was extremely worthwhile. In addition to the charming scenery overlooking the castle tower, looking up from the foot of the mountain at Gifu Castle, which was Nobunaga's base for unifying the world, and the natural flowers and plants of Kinka Mountain, one will also be moved by Nobunaga's lofty ambitions and feel sorry that he was unable to achieve his wish in the end. When you come to Gifu, it is worth taking the time to visit this famous city that was once occupied by the world's overlord! #See the Earth in an Instant #Overseas Travel #Japan #Countryside Series #Gifu Prefecture #Gifu Castle #Oda Nobunaga #Tenka Fubu #Warring States #Historical Buildings #japan #gifu

The first photo shows the snow-covered Mt. Kinka and Gifu Castle. It takes just over an hour to walk there, but if you take the ropeway you can reach just before the summit. It takes about a five-minute walk from the ropeway station to reach Gifu Castle at the top of the mountain. The view from below and from Gifu Castle are both amazing! #GifuCastle#AmazingView

This time while wandering around Gifu city, I accidentally discovered this hidden alley "mass wine shop". The moment I pushed open the wooden door, I felt like I had broken into the locals' late-night cafeteria! Warm yellow lighting, wooden decor and lively chatter and laughter interweave a rich Japanese izakaya atmosphere, making it an excellent place to experience Gifu's local food culture. Environment and Services: The space in the shop is not big, but it is full of humanity. Seating is dominated by bar and low tables, and the walls are covered with handwritten menus and local sake posters, exuding a simple nostalgia. Service staff can speak Japanese and English Food highlights The menu is different every day, depending on the fresh seafood of the day, so you will be surprised and eat the freshest and seasonal ingredients every time you come Tang Yang fried chicken: crispy crust, full of juice, squeezed on lemon more refreshing, suitable for wine. Price and CP Value: About 2,500~3,500 yen per person (depending on the wine), which is very reasonable for local high-quality ingredients. The portion is moderate, suitable for 2-4 people to share a variety of dishes, it is recommended to order the set combination more cost-effective! Friendly reminder: 1. Crowds are higher after 8pm, it is recommended to arrive early or make a reservation. 2. The menu is mainly in Japanese, you can refer to the store popularity rankings or directly ask the shopkeeper to recommend. 3. It is recommended to try Gifu real estate sake, such as "Kuta" or "Sen Thousand Sakura", which are refreshing and easy to enter. summary If you want to avoid the hustle and bustle of tourists and feel the authentic Japanese izakaya culture, this mass wine shop is definitely the first choice for a night tour in Gifu. From the ingredients, atmosphere to humanity are impeccable, the only drawback is the slightly crowded seats, but perhaps it is this liveliness that makes the memories of the trip even deeper! #Aprilgoodplaces2025 #trip #GifuPrefecture #Nagoya

#NagoyaSakura 🌸 The whole of Nagoya is covered with cherry blossoms in full bloom. There are many varieties of cherry blossoms. Due to the different varieties, there are some differences in the time of blooming, resulting in pink, white, peach and white-pink cherry blossoms (such as Okanzakura and Weeping Cherry) or the double-leafed cherry blossoms with green leaves and some cherry blossoms that have not yet bloomed intertwined, creating a very beautiful landscape. In addition, the weather is really good, and there is occasional rain of cherry blossom petals. The faint fragrance coming towards you and the petals falling on your body make you feel very romantic. In this season, Nagoya not only has flowers to enjoy, but also many festivals to attend and markets to eat. Compared with Tokyo or Osaka, there are fewer people, so it is relatively relaxing whether traveling or dining.

When I went to Nagoya, I wanted to visit Gifu, so I went there for about 3 nights and 4 days~ The weather was bad that day, so it rained on the first day, but since the air was definitely clean, even that rain felt like a shower~ The accommodation felt old, but it was a place that was comfortable and not at all inconvenient from the outside to the inside! There were almost no trains in Gifu, and most of the time I traveled by bus, but since the buses in Japan were strictly on time, I was able to use them without any inconvenience~ (Gifu buses were boarded at the front and got off at the back!) Gifu Castle was built on top of a mountain, so if you look at it from Gifu City, you can see the castle on top of the mountain~ After taking the cable car up, you had to walk for about 10 more minutes to reach your destination. There was also a cable car fee and Gifu Castle admission fee, so you should prepare money! The view from there was spectacular enough to see the entire Gifu City, and a cool breeze blew enough to blow away the hot feeling. After that, I walked to Inaba Shrine for about 10 minutes. It was getting dark in the evening, and I was alone at the large shrine, but it was a place where I could organize my complicated thoughts in silence rather than fear. The food was no different from the food in Japan, but I could feel the pleasure of savoring the taste of traditional Japanese food by visiting an old restaurant. 😊 Will I visit again? Of course, I want to visit Gifu again. It takes about 30 minutes by express train to Nagoya, so it's easy to get around, and there are many places to play, such as izakayas! (The atmosphere of Kabukicho is small, but there were entertainment spots!) The 3-night, 4-day Gifu trip was leisurely and relaxing, and I was able to enjoy it comfortably in a healing atmosphere~ Why don't you try a Gifu trip too? I recommend it🫡

If you come to Gifu, try climbing Mt. Kinka! There are several climbing routes, so you can climb according to your physical strength! You can climb to the top of the mountain in about 40 minutes while feeling the nature, and you will be able to see the whole of Gifu city! If you are not confident in your physical strength, we recommend taking the ropeway up. You can enter Gifu Castle for 200 yen! Also, near Gifu Castle at the top of the mountain, there is Gifu Kinka Squirrel Village, where you can interact with squirrels. If you go, it is recommended to go in the morning, as the squirrels will get full in the afternoon and stop eating! #0yentravelFebruary2025

Gifu Castle, perched atop Mount Kinka in Gifu City, Japan, is a symbol of the region's rich history and strategic importance. The castle's origins date back to the early 13th century, but it gained prominence during the Sengoku period when it became the stronghold of the renowned warlord Oda Nobunaga in 1567. Nobunaga's control of Gifu Castle marked the beginning of his campaign to unify Japan. The current structure, a faithful reconstruction completed in 1956, stands as a testament to the castle's historical significance.

#japantrip Gifu Castle is about 1.5 hours from Nagoya, making it a great day trip. You can either take the ropeway to the top or hike up for free and hike back down. There are several well-maintained trails with clear signs to guide you. The castle itself is small, and there's a modest entrance fee. Nearby, there's also a squirrel village where you can feed the squirrels and watch them play. I definitely recommend hiking up to the top—it only takes about 30 minutes and is a fun way to enjoy the scenery.

Gifu City is very close to Nagoya, just a 20-minute train ride from Nagoya Station. It's perfect for a day trip to see Gifu Castle, where Oda Nobunaga began his "Tenka Fubu" campaign. You can hike up to Gifu Castle, which takes about an hour, or you can do what I did and take the cable car. Once you reach the castle, you can enjoy the surrounding scenery. The mountain is high, so you can see everything, including the Nagara River winding through the city.

Gifu Castle is located on the summit of Mount Kinka in Gifu City, Gifu Prefecture, and is considered one of Japan's famous castles. In 1567, Oda Nobunaga used Gifu Castle as his base to unify the country. This castle was originally built by the Toki clan, and was later renovated by Nobunaga himself. Gifu Castle is characterized by its location on top of a mountain, which gave it a very strong defensive capability during the Sengoku period and a panoramic view of the surrounding area. Nowadays, the view from the observation deck is wonderful, with views of the Naga River, the scenery, and even the snow-capped mountains of the Northern Alps. The current Gifu Castle was restored in the Showa era, and a historical museum is also located inside the castle, where you can learn about Nobunaga's exhibits and the history of Gifu. #GifuCastle #MountKinka #0YenTravelAutumn

Gifu Castle was built by Oda Nobunaga during the Warring States period about 450 years ago. At that time, Gifu was the center of power in Japan under Oda Nobunaga, and Gifu Castle had some very elegant and majestic buildings. The buildings are now lost, but the view from Gifu Castle is amazing, and it is the view that Oda Nobunaga saw at that time. The building on the top of Gifu Castle is a museum with an observation deck. The admission fee is very cheap, so I recommend going. You can reach the top of the mountain quickly by ropeway, or it takes about 40 minutes to walk up. #historicalsites #castle #gifu

You can spend half a day wandering around Gifu Castle. Driving from a distance, I saw Gifu Castle sitting on the top of the mountain. Here you need to take a mountain cable car up the mountain and enjoy a panoramic view of the city. The road leading to Gifu Castle is uphill. It was a bit hard for me who doesn’t often climb mountains. But the hard work is worth it once you reach the mountain. After visiting Gifu Castle, it was almost noon. There is only one restaurant here, I looked at the menu and thought it was good, so I ate on the mountain. The view is very good, with large glass windows. It is really pleasant to eat the Hida beef set meal while overlooking the beautiful scenery below the mountain. After eating, I was ready to leave. When you see the squirrel garden, you should not miss it if you are already here. The park is not big but you can interact with and feed the squirrels. It was quite surprising and a very interesting interaction. Finally, take the cable car back to the parking lot. There is a big park next to it. Just take a walk around... It’s worth setting aside time to visit here.

Located on the top of Mount Kinka since the Warring States period, the castle has been known as an unconquerable castle. It is said that "capturing Mino is capturing the world". General Oda Nobunaga captured Gifu Castle, formerly Inabayama Castle, and turned it into a stronghold to carry out his plan to unify the world. At an altitude of 329m, from the castle's watchtower, visitors can see the Nagara River and Mount Ena.

Gifu-jo, originally called Inabayama-jo, is built atop the 338m Mt. Kinka in Gifu prefecture. It is famous for being where Oda Nobunaga took his first steps toward the unification of Japan towers above. The peculiarity of this Japanese castle is that it’s located at the top of a rock. Plus, when you climb it and reach the pinnacle, you feel like a king because you can admire such a whirlwind landscape! I wish to be back in Gifu this year! #2024wish
