Gujohachiman Onsen

Gujohachiman, cradled in the heart of Gifu Prefecture, is an enchanting onsen area that captures the essence of Japan’s timeless beauty. The serene Hida River meanders through the town, which is known as the “City of Water” for its pristine springs, traditional waterways, and historic watermills.

The charm of Gujohachiman extends beyond its healing waters. The town is steeped in history and culture, boasting beautifully preserved Edo-period architecture and a reputation as the birthplace of Gujo Odori, a vibrant traditional dance festival. Take a leisurely stroll through the quaint streets, visit the impressive Gujohachiman Castle perched atop Hachiman Mountain, or indulge in the town’s culinary delights, most notably its exquisite ayu (sweetfish) cuisine. Gujohachiman is a symphony of sensory delights waiting to be discovered.
