2025 Gujo Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in May)

#MarchGoodPlaces2025 The statue of Kazutoyo Yamauchi and his wife is located on a lawn below the Hachiman Castle in Gujo. Kazutoyo Yamauchi was a military commander during the Azuchi-Momoyama period and the early Edo period of the Japanese Warring States Period. His career flourished after he married a virtuous wife. Chiyo was not only good at needlework but also good at writing. Legend has it that when Yamanouchi Kazutoyo was still a low-ranking samurai, he fell in love with a horse but had no money to buy it. When his wife Chiyo learned about it, she privately pawned her dowry to buy the horse. Later, Yamanouchi Kazutoyo was appreciated by his lord Oda Nobunaga for his meritorious service in battles riding this horse and thus rose to prominence.

#MarchGoodPlaces2025 Gochikuin Temple is located in Gujo City, Gifu Prefecture. Below is the famous Anyangji Temple. Gochikuin Temple was founded in 1521 and is an ancient temple of the Caodong sect. It has been passed down to the 22nd generation. In 1881 (Meiji 12), the temple became the fire prevention center of Gujo City. The temple also attracted the cross-sectarian faith of local residents who called it "Akihabara-sama". There are Yotoku-do, Toyokawa-do, Taishi-do, Jizo-do, etc. in the temple. The environment here is quite quiet and there are no other tourists to be seen. Above the temple is the Gujo Happo Castle and below is Anyang-ji Temple. It is very comfortable here and you can slowly appreciate every corner of the building without being disturbed.

In Japan's self-driving tour, you often need to take the highway. This time, on the way from Nagoya to Takayama City, I passed the vehicle rest area of ​​Haugano Plateau🚘 In addition to seeing the snow-capped mountains, there are also shops to buy souvenirs and snacks. There are also restaurants where you can replenish your stamina midway! The washrooms were also very clean! Japan's road planning is well done, from Nagoya to Takayama City, it takes about 2 hours☺️ #Japan #Takayama City #Driving Tour #Shigano Plateau #Snow Mountain #Japan Attractions

1. Address: Kiyomi-cho, Takayama City, Gifu Prefecture - Meiho, Gujo City Recommended points: Hida Mino Seseragi Highway is a 64km drive away where you can enjoy autumn leaves, and the difference in altitude makes it a famous spot for long-term viewing of autumn leaves. The broad-leaved trees along the road, such as oak, beech, larch, rowan, and maple, change color beautifully. The leaves start to change color in mid-October, and it is a popular spot where you can enjoy the autumn leaves for about a month and a half. Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️ #autumntrip #autumnleaves #luckydogtrip

Today's lunch ramen goes to "Sugimoto" in Aoba Ward, where he was a disciple of Minoru Sano, who is famous for ramen demons. A line of about 20 people arrived just at 12 o'clock. After waiting for about 30 minutes, the clerk guided me to the store. I had two choices, soy sauce and salt, and my younger brother chose soy sauce, so I ordered salt. Donburi in about 10 minutes. First of all, soup. Salt of chicken stock without any unpleasant taste. It's quite delicious, but I had the first bite of soy sauce soup, but the soy sauce tasted better. The noodles are thin noodles straight. To be honest, I think the noodles don't go well with salt. However, the soy sauce ramen was amazingly delicious. Next, I would like to have soy sauce.

Takasu and Dynaland are neighbors, forming the largest integrated ski area in western Japan. They have the same mountaintop, but have developed different slopes. The official websites of the two ski resorts are interconnected, and both recommend joint tickets for the two ski resorts. The blogger was lucky enough to go skiing at both ski resorts during the Spring Festival this year. Let's make a simple comparison and talk about the experience: 1. Snow trail conditions 1. Number of ski slopes Takashige Ski Resort has 32 ski slopes with a total skiing distance of 43 kilometers; Dynaland Ski Resort has 20 ski slopes, with the longest ski run reaching 4,800 meters. 2. Number of primary courses Beginner Course (30%) at Takashige Ski Resort: mainly gentle slopes, recommended are Beginner Course (3,100 meters) and Panorama Course, suitable for beginners and family tourists; Dynaland Ski Resort has beginner slopes (40%), including the "Panoramic Snow Slope" (3,100 meters) with a gentle slope, suitable for beginners to practice; there is also the "Baboon Parent-Child Park" designed specifically for children, equipped with magic carpets and snow game facilities. 3. Special ski slopes Takasu Ski Resort: Halfpipe track: divided into beginner (3.5 meters high) and advanced (6.5 meters high), it was once the competition venue of the Japan Snowboard Association. Park prop area: Contains more than 30 facilities such as iron bars, diving platforms, wave tracks, etc., suitable for freestyle players. Small forest wild snow area: connected to the snow trail, with a higher safety factor, suitable for beginners to experience wild snow. Dynaland Ski Resort: Half-pipe pool (Japanese Olympic athletes training venue) From the "SORA terrace" on the top of the mountain, you can overlook the sea of ​​clouds and the sunset, and enjoy the view of the Northern Alps while gliding. 2. Cable Car and Ticket Prices 1. Cable Car: Takashige Ski Resort: There are 12 cable cars, including a 15-seater high-speed cable car, covering long-distance ski trails from the top of the mountain to the foot of the mountain. Dynaland: 5 high-speed cable cars, including a 15-passenger panoramic cable car, which takes 8 minutes to reach the top of the mountain at an altitude of 1,550 meters. 2. Ticket price: One-day adult ticket for both ski resorts: approximately 5,900 yen (weekends and holidays) / 4,900 yen (weekdays), child ticket (4 years old - elementary school students): 2,400 yen. One-day ticket for a single ski resort: 4,900 yen for adults, 2,100 yen for children (4-12 years old); Dynaland Ski Resort has a special half-price ticket on Wednesdays, which the blogger happened to enjoy. It is only valid at Dynaland Ski Resort. 3. Coaching Services There are ski schools for both snowboard and ski slopes. Gaojiu's group (4 people) price: half day 18,000, full day 25,000, with two coaches Dynaland group price: 5000/1.5 hours/per person, with one instructor The price for private one-on-one sessions is more expensive and is subject to the price at the ski resort. General group classes can only be taught in Japanese. If English service is required, each group will have to pay an additional 5,000-10,000. Based on the blogger's experience with three ski school coaching teams at two ski resorts, the common points are: all male coaches are over 60 years old and their skills are very good. The difference is: the service attitude of the teachers at the ski schools in Dynaland and Takasu Hall is the best, while the service of a ski school outside Takasu Hall is really not satisfactory. The person in charge first used the reason of insufficient number of coaches to send only one coach in the dual-coach team course, but immediately sent another coach to take the one-on-one high-priced lessons; and also imposed foreign language service fees on the grounds that the blogger was a foreigner, but the actual coach did not speak English, and what's more, skiing lessons can be understood just by watching the movements. This is just my opinion, you can compare it yourself. 4. Transportation Guide 1. Self-driving: From Nagoya, take the Tokai-Hokuriku Expressway to Takasu IC, which is about an hour’s drive away. Parking lot: 1,000 yen/day for ordinary cars, 2,000 yen for large buses. 2. Public transportation: Bus: There are tourist buses that go directly to ski resorts from Nagoya, Osaka and other places. JR+Shuttle Bus: Take the JR to Gujo Hachiman Station and then take the shuttle bus (approximately 30 minutes). 5. Surrounding facilities and tips 1. There are hot spring facilities near the ski resort, and there are related recommendation brochures in the ski hall. For example, "Gujo Hachiman Onsen" or "Gero Onsen" 2. The food court in the ski hall offers local specialties such as ramen and Hida beef. I ate there for four days without repeating the same dishes. 3. "TAKASU BEACH CAFÉ" at the top of the snow resort offers Mediterranean-style meals, and the "Ice Beach Cake" is a must-try. 4. Pay attention to the nighttime light show at the ski resort. The U-shaped pool at the ski resort is also a popular check-in spot for photography enthusiasts.

Takasu Skiing Resort is an excellent destination for winter sports enthusiasts! The variety of slopes caters to all skill levels, making it perfect for beginners and advanced skiers alike. The snow quality is superb, ensuring an enjoyable experience on the slopes. The facilities are well-maintained, and the staff is friendly and helpful. Additionally, the picturesque scenery adds to the overall charm of the resort. After a day of skiing, the cozy lodges and delicious dining options provide a great way to unwind. Overall, Takasu Skiing Resort is a fantastic choice for anyone looking to enjoy a fun and memorable skiing experience!

My first skiing was so beautiful ☃️❄️🇯🇵

If you want to avoid waiting for the lifts in the high season❗If you want to ski at your own pace❗The ski resort "White Pier Takasu" is recommended for such people🏂⁡ ⁡ It is a ski resort connected to Washigatake Ski Resort at the summit, so if you bought a lift ticket at Washigatake Ski Resort and skied but the lift is crowded...⁡ If you add 500 yen at the lift ticket counter, you can upgrade to a lift ticket that can be used both at White Pier Takasu💡⁡ ⁡ The terrain is fun to play with, and there are beginner and intermediate level parks, so you can enjoy it regardless of your level👍⁡ ⁡ ⁡ Please go and check it out🎵⁡ ⁡ ⁡ ⁡ ⋈ ････Notes･･･ ⋈⁡ The summit lifts at Washigatake Ski Resort and White Pier Takasu close at 4pm, so it's also attractive that you can go back and forth between both ski resorts for a long time👍⁡ #tripdomestictravel #gifuprefecture #gifutourism #Gifu trip #Domestic trip #Ski resort

3 things to do when you visit Togakushi Shrine in winter (Eng below) Togakushi Shrine is a historic shrine in Nagano Prefecture that is known for its beautiful nature and sacred atmosphere. Here are some things you should definitely do when you visit. 1. Worship Togakushi Shrine has five shrines (shrines), and it is especially famous for going to the "Okusha". The Okusha is located in the mountains, and you can walk there while feeling the sacred atmosphere. It is quite a distance, so it is best to go by car, but it is dangerous in winter, so drivers who do not like snow should avoid it. 2. Walk the Okusha Approach In winter, you can only go as far as the Nakasha, but to get to the Okusha, you walk along a sacred cedar tree-lined road, so even if you cannot go all the way to the back, this is very beautiful and calming. From the Nakasha to the entrance of the Okusha, you can take a taxi (Nagano Kanko Jidosha) in 5 minutes, but please note that there is only one taxi running recently. 3. Taste Togakushi Soba The area around Togakushi is famous for "Togakushi Soba". I recommend trying some fresh soba noodles at a local soba restaurant after your visit. However, I was born and raised overseas, so I'm used to strong flavors and honestly I didn't really like it, but I recommend it for those who like milder flavors. If you want to go, like and save this ✨ And this is a trivial story, but I'll say it first because I think there will be people who are concerned about my outfit 😊 I was wearing several layers of underwear, and on top of that I was wearing warm beige fleece tights and other cold weather measures, so I was sweating while walking. To be honest, it was hot. That's all 🔥 #Domestic travel #Tourism
