Gifu Prefecture
Gifu is a multi-faceted destination that allows visitors to immerse themselves in the grand outdoors, timeless tradition, and living culture that have been preserved and lovingly passed down through generations. The area has no shortage of outdoor activities, some of which overlap with its world-renowned cuisine and heritage sites. A trip to Gifu is easily added onto a more traditional itinerary such as Tokyo and Osaka/Kyoto as it is located between the two. Gifu’s central location has made it the crossroads of Japan, where culture, history, and tradition flourish.
Ishikawa Prefecture
Located between the Japanese alps and the Sea of Japan, outdoor activities abound in this unique corner of The Land of the Rising Sun. The location provides ample opportunity for a range of activities along with a cultural experience unlike any other. With four distinct seasons, there is something to experience throughout the year, whether it’s skiing and snowboarding in winter, trekking and cycling in spring and autumn, or time spent by the beach in summer. Cultural activities can of course be experienced in any season with the highlight being a visit to Kanazawa which is affectionally nicknamed “Little Kyoto” due to its abundance of traditional charm such as the Kenroku-en garden and its history-steeped geisha and samurai districts.
