Ochiai-juku Honjin

Honjin were inns that accommodated court nobles, feudal lords, and other important persons, and played an important role in the inns.
There are 17 inn towns in Gifu, but this Ochiai-juke is the only one that remains its original appearance of Edo period. You can visit here with local guide and know how this place worked long time ago.
(Because of heavy rain in June 2023, you can’t enter inside but you can still enjoy here from outside)

Stone Pavement in Ochiai

Stone Pavement was built to protect the slope from heavy rain and to make it convenient for travelers during Edo period.
The cobblestone pavement, which recreates how it looked in those days, is about 840 meters long, and the time spent walking through the dignified atmosphere of the cedar forest is one of the highlights of this tour.

Magome-juku is an inn town along a 600-meter-long stone-paved slope. You can visit local cafe and souvenir shops along this street. It’s also good place for you to eat gohei-mochi which is known for local food around here.
