[Gifu] Food Sample & Traditional Dance in Gujo Hachiman Castle Town

Discover the living history of Gujo Hachiman, a hidden gem in Gifu Prefecture known for its clear waterways, traditional townscape, and cultural traditions. Start with a guided walk through the preserved castle town, where stone paths and wooden buildings evoke the Edo era. After a lunch of local specialties like Hida beef or soba, visit the Gujo Hachiman Hakurankan Museum to enjoy a live performance of Gujo Odori, one of Japan’s most famous traditional dances and an Important Intangible Folk Cultural Property. Finish with a hands-on session at Sample Village Iwasaki, where you’ll make your own “sampuru” (realistic food replica) to take home as a unique souvenir. This day trip from Nagoya offers the perfect mix of culture, history, craft, and cuisine.
