Gifu Park

Gifu park has a very nice walking path up tor the castle. The park itself is great place to walk with little ponds and pagodas. It's very green and quiet. The path up is a bit of a climb and slightly challenging (there are two paths, one more dangerous but shorter and one longer but safer and easier to climb). The castle is very nice and the view from the top is great too.

Clean park with historical monuments and the entry to the rope way (monorail) that would bring you all the way up to the Gifu castle. Just like other parks in Japan they are cleaned spotless and have plenty of staff to assist you in case you're getting lost. There is also a souvenir shop of the castle.

Worth a visit. However, be mindful that they may have their museums and lift shut down on the day you visit. As there isn't much in this area otherwise, that can feel bad. It's still very nice to walk around! However with the lift and museums shut down the whole of the park takes less than half an hour to walk through. If you're up for a mountain hike, then there is definitely more for you here.

One of the best parks to go to during Spring and Autumn! 🍁 The view here is beyond spectacular! My husband and I took our time being mesmerized by the Autumn view before us and words just can't describe how we felt. This park is right before you climb a bit to the cable car ticket center to get to Kinkazan (Gifu Castle). So if you want to enjoy the view at the park and climb to the castle as well, I suggest you come here early as you would definitely spend a lot of time mesmerizing the view at the park. Beyond the waterfall, there's a shop selling hot dango, oden, udon, and other foods. It'd be a great final step after a walk at the park in the cool weather. Totally warms your heart! ❤️ There's also a bench and tables if you wanna have a picnic together with your friends, family or loved ones. Picnic underneath an autumn shade? Heck yeah! 🍂🍁

The place is good for picnic and rest. It's very photogenic even if it was raining during our visit. There's a gift shop and cafe around the area and it's also the way to Gifu Castle. Definitely, Ice cream is a must try.
