Inuyama Castle is a castle located in Inuyama City, Aichi Prefecture, Japan. It is located on a cliff about 40 meters above sea level to the south of the Kiso River. In terms of the terrain near the building, it is a flat mountain castle between hills and flat land. Inuyama Castle is the oldest existing castle tower in Japan and is a designated national treasure of Japan. The Inuyama Castle Tower is one of the twelve existing ancient castle towers in Japan, and its style is relatively old. It is known as one of the "Four National Treasure Castles of Japan" along with Himeji Castle, Matsumoto Castle, and Hikone Castle.
The Ena Gorge, located in the eastern part of Gifu, is a cliff with strange rocks formed by natural erosion. It starts from the artificial lake formed by the Oi Dam blocking the Kiso River and extends to the upstream Nakatsu River. The umbrella rock that pierces the ground is a national natural protected area. It and the red rock covered with brown-red moss are both representatives of strange rocks in the canyon. The cherry blossoms, azaleas and red leaves of Ena Gorge are even more beautiful against the huge rocks all year round, and tourists come to enjoy the scenery in an endless stream.
Magome-juku, which has been awarded one star in the Michelin Green Guide, has a steep road that is difficult for horses to cross, so travelers have to leave their horses at the post station, hence the name "Magome-juku". It was the only way for merchants to travel between Kyoto and Tokyo in ancient times. The main part of the middle section is called Kiso Road, which is along the Kiso River from Shikagawa-juku to Magome-juku. There are a total of 11 hotels, which are also post stations for people and horses to rest. Magome-juku is located at the southernmost end of Kiso Road and was once prosperous. The old street buildings on both sides of the ancient post road have maintained their original appearance in the Edo period of Japan. The quaint buildings and the scenery are very beautiful. There are many shops on both sides of the ancient post road in Magome-juku. It is recommended to have lunch here.
Tsumago-juku is a small place with a lot of charm. It is more simple and peaceful than Magome-juku. It is also one of the famous traditional preservation areas of Japanese buildings. The post road between Magome-juku and Tsumago-juku has now become a popular place for hiking and has been rated one star in the Michelin Green Guide.
