2026 Ibi District Travel Guide: must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transport & travel experiences (updated in August)

I visited Tokuyama Dam 😊 Located in Ibigawa Town, Gifu Prefecture, this dam boasts one of the largest total water storage capacities in Japan, and I was overwhelmed by its impressive scale. The scenery created by the dam lake and the surrounding mountains is incredibly beautiful, and you can enjoy different views depending on the season ✨ The view from the observation point is expansive and perfect for a stop during a drive. I was able to spend a relaxing time in a quiet space surrounded by nature 📸 I also enjoyed visiting dams! The scenery is especially beautiful during the seasons of fresh greenery and autumn leaves, making it a recommended spot for those who want to enjoy spectacular views. 📍Access 🚗 Approximately 50 minutes by car from the Ono-Kobe IC on the Tokai-Kanjo Expressway 📍Recommended Points ✔ One of the largest total water storage capacities in Japan ✔ Spectacular views of the dam lake and mountains ✔ Beautiful scenery in fresh greenery and autumn leaves ✔ Recommended for a drive ✔ Attractive views from the observation point #GifuPrefecture #TokuyamaDam #OneOfTheLargestInJapan

📍 Ibukiyama Driveway A spot with breathtaking views located on the border of Shiga and Gifu prefectures⛰️✨ The "Ibukiyama Driveway," a scenic route letting you drive right up to the 1,377-meter-high Mt. Ibuki, is a huge hit among driving enthusiasts🚗💨 From the summit parking lot, it's just a short walk to the peak! The seasonal alpine flora and the sweeping panoramic view of Lake Biwa are absolutely stunning🥹🌿 It stays relatively cool even in the dead of summer, making it the perfect summer getaway◎ There are a few different walking trails at the top, and the best part is that even beginners can easily enjoy the spectacular views✨ On a clear day, you can see all the way across Lake Biwa, the cityscapes of Shiga, and out toward Gifu!☀️ 📍 Spot Info ・Location: Ibukiyama Driveway ・Summit: Mt. Ibuki ・Driveway hours vary by season ・About a 20–40 minute walk from the summit parking lot to the peak ・It's a good idea to bring a light jacket or cardigan just in case◎ 💸 The toll fee was 3,400 yen for a standard car💡 Got a 300 yen discount with a JAF membership card🌟 The Sky Terrace is only open until 4:00 PM, so make sure to give yourself plenty of time◎ The eateries at the summit were open a bit later🌟 The peak was nice and cool even in the summer, and that panoramic view of Lake Biwa was totally out of this world...!🌿 Highly recommended for those days when you just need some healing in nature🤍 Driveway

I went to the "Otani Skyline" in Ono Town, Gifu Prefecture (((((((っ･ω･)っ I was looking at Google Maps and was surprised to find out there was a skyline so close by ∑(º ﾛ º๑)❢❢ I went there right away (≧ω≦) The entrance and exit areas are covered in moss, so it's a bit risky if you go too far. The scenery opens up partway through and the sunlight hits the area, so you can really enjoy it from there (ˊo̴̶̷̤ ̫ o̴̶̷̤ˋ)♡ You can enjoy a beautiful view from the observation deck, and the night view is also beautiful ✿ﾟ❀.(*´▽`*)❀.ﾟ✿ #TravelWithMe #Shinobi-chan
