Gifu Castle (Gifu)“Kodaman’s J-TRIP”
By using a train from Nagoya, taking 30min,there is the Gifu Castle in Gifu prefecture. This castle was first built in 1201. Why here has been so famous is that Oda Nobunaga used to live in this castle. Before Nobunaga used here, Gifu castle was called Inabayama castle and was used by Saito clan. Gifu castle . Because of the location(the top of the Kinka Mountain), this is difficult to be attacked.
It was winter when I wanted to go there and snowing. I arrived at Gifu station at around 16:00 and went to the bottom of the Kinka mountain by taxi then.However, a ropeway going to the top was closed already.
I tried to go there on next day. It was sunny day but so cold. A ropeway brought me to the top. From even a ropeway staiton, it was a long way to go to Gifu castle.(I saw many people going to the castle on foot from the bottom of this mountain).
There is a Tea room in which we can enjoy being served a green tea. The garden is also beautiful. Anyway, people want to go there need the schedule when one can go.
