About Ibigawa

About Tanigumi
Located in Ibigawa Town, Gifu Prefecture, Tanigumi is a place where you can still feel the historical atmosphere of a temple town that flourished around Tanigumi-san Kegonji Temple, the final destination of the Saikoku Kannon Pilgrimage. With ancient temples like Yokokuji Temple scattered throughout, the area is enveloped in a mystical amblance.
Since it’s not a major tourist destination, you can find the untouched, genuine scenery of old Japan here, far from the hustle and bustle of the city. Enjoy the beautiful landscapes that change with the seasons, from cherry blossoms in spring to vibrant autumn leaves. Many traditional festivals also remain, allowing you to discover a different charm of Tanigumi with every visit.
This is a place where the simple, warm hospitality and the quiet flow of time will soothe your soul.
