Shirotori in Gujo city is a town where we can see beautiful scenery created by rich nature such as “Itoshiro no Sugi”, a gigantic Japanese cedar which is estimated to be 1800 years old, and “Amida-ga Taki”, the great waterfall which was selected to be one of Japan’s Top 100 Waterfalls. This area has abundant natural ingredients as well as beautiful scenery. There are many restaurants to serve dishes using ingredients grown locally. The most recommended restaurant is “Darumaya”, a restaurant that serves natural fish dishes and local dishes in this area. You can enjoy fresh water fish such as sweetfish and amago trout, as well as some local dishes using Hida-gyu, the premium black-haired Japanese cow in Gifu Prefecture.
