Hida Furukawa is a small town in the mountains of Gifu Prefecture, known for its serene atmosphere, well-preserved old town, and traditional architecture. The town is famous for its timber and local carpenters, and visitors can explore the town's old streets, stone-walled temple grounds, and white-walled storehouses.
