This is a city in the countryside of Gifu prefecture, yet it is truly beautiful in its central streets where old traditional dark timber houses stretch for the whole length of the road, lining up in a breathtaking view. At night, the only illumination comes from the lanterns outside these shops, and it is devoid of people. perfect to rediscover peace, silence, and a connection with the land it is impossible to feel in the city. The train is a one-carriage train with a luxurious design, and you feel you are riding in first class, not the local train. This is a place to come to slow down, reconnect with nature and listen to the piercing silence. The sheer amount of local crafts and shops makes it unique, as well as truly authentic. I recommend it for those who want to see a different side of Japan. Maybe not a great show-off, or not quirky like the city, yet special.
