A very cool castle that went under reconstruction in 1933 and it is regarded as the oldest reconstructed castle, the entrance fee is around 400 yen or you can get a ticket that also allows entrance to the museum as well for 750 yen which I think is worth the price of admission. The view is especially beautiful from the top floors of the castle.

The castle could be half an hour uphill walk from the town centre. Taxis weren't that many, luckily we were in the Tourist information office at that time and the friendly staff managed to book one for us.. We found the Castle was not that interesting, however, the view of Gujo Hachiman town from above made the visit worthwhile.

Truly deserves a perfect rating. A unique gem with some of the friendliest people I have encountered in the country and some of the best mountain views. Fantastic restaurants. Great hida beef dishes and Ramen restaurants. Shabu Shabu you name it. The water tastes better than bottled and every street has classic architecture. Avoid the crowds in Takayama and go to Gujo Hachiman.

This castle features amazing architecture and some unique features like the different shaped gun ports along the walls. You have a spectacular view of Hachiman from here and there are several hiking trails that connect with other locations nearby.

A beautiful castle on a hill watching over Gujo. Parking on the top parking spot can be quite difficult to get to with a big car. So be warned!

A 20-minute hike to reach the castle is worth it. Such a majestic sight during winter.

Beautiful castle in Takayama known as Gujo Hachiman. Excellent drive up to the door step of the castle. It's a one way street up to and down from the castle and a small compact car is preferred!

Hike was manageable on gravel terrain, about 15-20mins. Overall, worth the trip up. View was fantastic on a clear day. Castle was closed during new year period, hence there is not a lot of crowd that would obstruct photo-taking.

A crowd lesser compared to the city siblings like Himeji-jo and Osaka-jo. Its completely made of wood and very well preserved for a 3 level castle and it's located up in the hill, thus driving up would be the best choice

A good walk up the castle. Been here twice once in summer and this winter looks nice during both seasons.

A Castle located on highlands. Learn the history with the attractive nature 🏯⛰

A beautiful japanese castle up in the mountains, with good views of the surrounding towns. Theres also some exhibits inside the castle, and you can climb up to the top of the main keep (steep steps) Its a long hike up from the town center, but it could also be accessed by car. There are no restaurants, food stalls or souvenir shops in the castle grounds or on the trail going up. There are some tables and benches in the castle grounds, so you can sit and enjoy the amazing views.

A historical building. Pretty view. Enjoyed the experience.

A lovely little castle set on a hill overlooking a picturesque town. Fantastic sunset viewing.

Visited there in spring and the view was amazing. I went up by cable car. The building is not that big but you can see whole Gifu from the balcony. Also, on your way you’ll see a little squirrel house and you can feed them for 600¥ if I remember correctly:) Enjoy this great place in Gifu!

Just like some of the castles in Gifu, you need to go up to the mountain to reach the castle. It is advisable to visit them while your knees are strong 🙂 The view from the castle is spectacular! Once you enter it, don't be surprised to hear the creeking floors produced by people walking above. Sounds scary but the castle is perfectly safe.

Lovely view from the top of the castle. Worth the walk up
