Yaotsu Town Tour!

The events keep coming!

Does beautiful nature, light hiking, and rich history peak your interest?
Gifu AJET is proud to announce another great chance to see our beautiful prefecture.

On September 6th we will have a special tour of Yaotsu, a small town full of interesting and historical sites. Yaotsu is located in the southern half of Chuno, and is quite a great town! We will see such things as: Miyamoto Musashi fs training grounds (Goho falls, a water fall with three tiers!), monuments to Chiune Sugihara (a great humanitarian and hero), dramatic views, and more! I highly recommend this trip; too few people get to see this area. It is a wonderfull chance to check out more of our great Gifu.

Please check out the town fs website for a taste: http://www.town.yaotsu.lg.jp/E/index.html

Speaking of gtaste, h we also will be getting a bento lunch on this trip, and Yatosu fs specialty snacks in the afternoon!
