Ukiyoe experience, Castle ruins and Castle town
Joined 2018
Gifu, central Japan near Nagoya, has many attractive castle ruins because three major warlords, Oda Nobunaga, Toyotomi Hideyoshi and Tokugawa Ieyasu were born in here, central Japan.
Especially in Gifu, there are a lot of mountains, you can enjoy both samurai culture and beautiful and nostalgic town, like Magome and Tsumago.
You can also enjoy experiencing Ukiyoe woodblock print in this tour!!
Why don't you enjoy local and nostalgic town, Iwamura, castle ruins and ukiyoe making?

Reviews
“Kanazawa in 4 hours”
Yuriko organized and conducted a wonderful tour of Kanazawa in just 4 hours. We visited Kanazawa Castle, Kenruku -en garden and the Higashi -chaya district, which was the traditional geisha district in the old times. All of these were extremely interesting and brought to life by the excellent English skills of Yuriko. There was a an issue with our railroad tickets that resulted from of neglect and she resolved this in an extremely efficient and polite manner. She was well organized, very polite and knowledgeable. It was a pleasure knowing her. We enthusiastically recommend Yuriko for anyone needing a guide in Japan.

(53 reviews)Thank you for using your precious time in order to post such a good review and comments! I'm so happy to hear that you and your son enjoyed Hiroshima and Miyajima. I also had a wonderful day with both of you. Please come to Japan again, maybe next destination would be Ghibli Park in Aichi Prefecture. If so, please drop in my hometown, Gifu! Gifu has lots of sightseeing spots, such as swordsmith town, Seki City, beautiful and nostalgic castle town, Gujo-hachiman and Takayama, and World Heritage Site, Shirakawago. See you again! Yuriko
