Car Hire Gifu - Mini guide to Gifu

Due to its location in the centre of Japan, the city of Gifu has a lot to offer tourists, and is a great base for travelling around the island. The best way to get around the modern and thriving prefectural capital is by car hire in Gifu.

Set on the banks of the Nagara River, Gifu boasts many tourism opportunities, such as cormorant fishing and a trip to Mount Kinka, which can be reached easily by cheap car hire in Gifu. There is also a nationally-designated forest to explore, Gifu Castle and many festivals and events all year round.

The landscape in Gifu is very diverse, ranging from strawberry patches and orchards on the outskirts to the built-up and bustling city centre. There are mountains and forests in the north and the Nagara River runs through the centre of the city. It is therefore easy to see why car rental in Gifu is the best way to see it all.

Gifu prides itself of its slow-paced culture, so expect the delicious locally-grown and home-cooked food to take a little longer than usual. If you take your hire car just north of the station, there is also a good variety of boutique clothing stalls if the city's downtown arcade, Yanagase, does not supply everything you need.

Gifu Park's Museum of History is also good for culture seekers, with exhibits focusing on the city's past and a few hands-on exhibitions. The park also houses the Eiz? & T?ichi Kat? Memorial Art Museum, full of the work of the famous Gifu-born brothers Eiz? and T?ichi Kat?.
