Gifu Gifu City

Nagaragawa Onsen

Ryokan line the banks of the clear Nagaragawa River, making this an outstanding hot spring area with beautiful views of Mt. Kinka and Gifu Castle. It is characterized by a cloudy, iron-rich bath that turns reddish brown when exposed to air. Its biggest highlight is the traditional fishing method of Nagaragawa ukai, which has a history of about 1300 years. In recent years, premium lodging experiences combining ukai viewing from a luxury private boat with French gastronomy have been offered, drawing strong interest from affluent inbound travelers seeking authentic traditional culture and a luxurious stay. Easy access is also a major attraction, with Nagoya about 30 to 40 minutes away by car or train.
