Hotels in Gifu, Japan

Gifu is a region in central Japan with four distinct seasons, famous for cormorant fishing on the Nagara River and historic Gifu Castle. In summer, you can watch the skilled fishermen use trained birds to catch ayu fish under lantern light, while winter brings snowy landscapes perfect for soaking in outdoor hot springs. Spring's mild weather is ideal for hiking to the castle's summit for cherry blossom views, and autumn's crisp air makes the riverboat rides through colorful foliage a must.
