For a landscape conservation area like this, there seem to be a lot of modern houses. However, it blends in well with the townscape.

このような街並みが大好きであちこち歩いていますが、ここも素晴らしい町並みです。大雪の日に当たってしまいましたが、風情が増して結果良かった。長良川側から歩き、霞橋を渡り、岐阜公園へ向かいましたが、三重塔と岐阜城を眺めながら散歩でき、コースとしてお勧めします。古い町並みの保存にはお住いの方々の努力と協力が必要だと思います。今後も岐阜観光のために保存をお願いします。

Looks like a strip of Gion District in Kyoto. When I went in a Monday afternoon, there was barely anyone there. Lots of traditional looking restaurants line the street

(Translated by Google) I was thinking of coming to Kawaramachi once before, but I couldn't go because the parking lot was full, but I walked around the quiet streets on weekdays in front of Golden Week. This is also a really tasteful cityscape with a lot of old streets on both sides of the cobblestones, but there are also old traditional houses in places a little away from here and near Gifu Park, so it is a really fun cityscape as an old townscape fan. is. (Original) 川原町も 前に1度来ようと思いながら、駐車場がいっぱいで結局行けなかったところでしたが、GW前の平日の静かな街並みをブラブラ歩いてきました。 ここも石畳の両側にびっしり古い町並みが続いて 本当に風情がある街並みでしたが、ここからちょっと離れた場所や岐阜公園に近い場所にも古い伝統あるお家もあって 古い町並みファンとしては 本当に楽しい街並みです。

うーん、なんかネットで見た写真で想像してたよりかなりチープに感じた。土曜日でしたが観光客は少なく閑散してます。コロナの影響もあるがお店が2、3軒位しかオープンしてないです。また道路も普通に車が通行しますが、かなりのスピードで走行して来る車も居ます。岐阜ナンバーで多分、地元民だと思う。なんかねー、一応観光地だし歩行者もそれなりに居るのだから気遣いが欲しいよね。同じ県民同士、恥ずかしくなります。 高山や倉敷美観地区など観光した方はお勧めは出来ないです。何だコレ？のレベルです。

Two rows of old wooden build houses.

Originally I was just wandering around after coming down from Gifu Castle, but later I found out that it is a quiet and peaceful spot with full flavor. Some machiyas hold events, and I happened to meet them this time.

Loved taking a walk down this street. Really good food vendors nearby.

After going to Gifu Castle, I took a walk. It takes about 5 minutes on foot from the Gifu Park Omiyacho parking lot. First, you will see the Nagara River Cormorant Fishing Terminal, and if you turn left, you will see the old townscape of Kawaramachi for about 200 meters. Since it was a weekday, there weren't many people, so I was able to take a leisurely stroll. It's not a lively place, but there are some quaint buildings scattered about, giving you the feel of a castle town. There is also Nagaragawa Onsen, so I think it would be nice to enjoy the brown hot water.

Great Old style

There are a few old style Japanese shops but again really not much for a non Japanese speaking tourist.

Don't know if the purely "genuine" feeling strikes me, hur the houses are rebuilt in a clssical manner so, ok, worth seeing while in Gifu!

It's a very quaint place. I think you'll especially enjoy it if you're interested in old buildings and history.

Unique traditional village professionally managed. You can find some shops, selling various stuffs, from food to handcrafted goods. At night you can enjoy cormorant fishing.

I had a hard time finding the parking lot.

Looks pretty but not much to do

Many shops are closed. Not sure it’s related to COVID or not.

On weekdays, the store was completely empty, which made me feel very disappointed.
