This first one is a popular work set in Hida "Hida "is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Gifu Prefecture. It is a hard-hitting work based on a novel, not a light novel, with an impressive mystery style.
The character modeling is very carefully done, yet very enjoyable, with a good remix of mystery-solving elements in a lively and living style, and is also a "masterpiece "with a high name.

The traditional townscape that makes you feel as if you have stepped back in time is called "old townscape ". Foreign visitors to Japan often come to this area, and there are many things to see and do in this area, from eating and drinking Hida's "delicious "to stylish coffee shops and beautiful buildings.
Hyouka is by no means a time travel film, but its deep, traditional atmosphere is a good match for the quietness of the style.
Although this region is often used in dramas, it is surprisingly rarely used in animations targeting boys and girls.
However, it is a must-see spot for sightseeing in Gifu Prefecture, so be sure to check it out.

As mentioned above, the sanctuary is clustered around the Four Seasons Plaza in Gifu Prefecture, but this place gives the impression of a Japanese garden taken to the ultimate level of luxury and splendor. The nature is very open, yet well harmonized with traditional buildings and bridges.
The colored trees in each season are also a sight to behold. Don't forget to visit here "Bito Koi Bridge ", which appears in the most important scene in the work.
With this bridge in the background and the cherry blossoms dancing in the air, this is a great recreation for fans of the ...... work. Please check it out.

"Kimi no na wa. "is a brilliant masterpiece in the history of Japanese animation and has fans all over the world. At one time it was a social phenomenon, and even today it is an overwhelming work that continues to be talked about.
Director Makoto Shinkai was a well-known director among animation fans, but this film gave the impression that he has further advanced his career and made his name known to the general public.
The work that captures the charm of Japan to the extreme stimulates the pride of Japanese people, and I hope you will visit Gifu Prefecture, which is the inspiration for this work.

The original landscape-like nature of Gifu Prefecture matches the style of the work very well, giving it a very calm and elegant atmosphere.
In the work, one can sense the wonderful location of the mix of various beautiful landscapes from all over Japan, and Gifu Prefecture is depicted as a central part of this mix.
In particular, Hida Furukawa Station appeared in the scene where the main character goes to encounter the heroine. This is a major turning point in the work, and we believe it will remain in the memories of many fans.
It is immersive, even from the careful drawings, and I can assure you that your mood will be lifted if you actually visit.

This one is set in Kawaramachi, but is called "old town ".
I have just introduced Hida's "old town "in another sacred place, but there are other traditional landscapes in Gifu Prefecture.
The castle is located near Gifu Castle, and the atmosphere of the castle town can be enjoyed in a dignified manner.
The cafes and buildings are wooden, and the cobblestone streets are distinctly different from those in the city.
It is surprising that such a landscape still exists today, and one realizes the retro and fashionable atmosphere.
It is also depicted as the very base of the work "where Kawai-so "is located, so it is a must-see for fans.

"Higurashi no Naku Koro ni "is not an exaggeration to say that Gifu Prefecture is one of the most famous anime locations in Japan, representing a pilgrimage to a sacred place.
The shocking developments and cruel depictions that become more and more apparent as the story progresses, despite the moe anime aspect of the series, and the solving of mysteries that have a 1 percent response rate. The moving and profound story still has a considerable fan base today, and sequels such as "Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Kogyo "have also been created over the years.
Many people say this is the most inspiring work of their lives, and the author recommends it.

Shirakawa-go is known as one of the most spectacular places in Japan, and has become a land with such a strong brand that you should visit it at least once during your lifetime.
The Gassho-zukuri style, a crystallization of ancient human wisdom, is a magnificent structure that defies the heavy snowfall that attacks Gifu Prefecture in the winter.
The straw houses with white hats are old-fashioned yet delicate, touching the heartstrings of Japanese beauty.
Although the village appeared as Hinamizawa Village in the film, model locations appear here and there, making fans feel as if they have warped into the world of Higurashi no Naku Koro ni. There is also Furute Shrine, a key spot for Rika Furute, and the Ritual Hall where Oyashiro-sama is enshrined, and the exchange of famous scenes.
In addition, the pilgrimage to the holy place of Higurashi is recommended even if you go up the town, and a lot of related goods are available, and a music box that plays the famous ani-song "You "is also available only here.
You can also get limited-edition goods from the stamp rally, so we recommend that you spend half a day or so to fully enjoy the sights of the area.

This work is a highly anticipated anime work that has been broadcast for two seasons.
While cute girls with austere hobbies is an established and popular format in the anime industry, this work is quite unique in that it deals with ceramics.

Since the theme of this work is ceramics, it is desirable to set it in a place closely related to ceramics.
Tajimi ceramics are known as high-end products because of their high quality, and they are also popular as gifts.
In addition to the dynamic use of Tajimi City's scenery and facilities in the production, the latter 15 minutes of the film was unusually structured to air a live-action location show by the voice actors.
This makes it easy to imagine a pilgrimage to a holy place, and fans can enjoy the experience twice as much.

Name: Tajimi City
Address: Tajimi City, Gifu Prefecture
Access: 1 minute walk from Tajimi Station (JR Chuo Line)
