Gujo Hachiman Castle Town
Surrounded by deep green mountains, Gujo Hachiman is a town rich in nature with a river flowing through the center of the city. Nurtured by this blessed topography and its long history, the people of Gujo Hachiman have taken root in a way of life that makes the most of “water.
For example, waterways can be seen when walking through the town, and water tanks called “mizu-bune” are located in front of the tourist association in the center of the town and at several other places, where you can drink water and quench your thirst when visiting the town.
In addition, the culture of Gujo Odori, one of Japan's three major Bon Odori dances held in the summer, is deeply rooted throughout the town, and there are abundant facilities and other activities related to dancing.
Of course, stores for purchasing souvenirs and other items are also scattered throughout the town.
Our guide will take you to the facilities that interest you, so please let us know what you would like to see.
