The Forge Bridge is a must-see in central Japan. The red bridge has a great feeling.
Come to Gifu Prefecture in central Japan, especially Takayama City, which is full of antiques.
Takayama Hida Old Town is one of the attractions not to be missed.
The Blacksmith Bridge next to the entrance is a super classic red bridge.
It is in sharp contrast with the wooden Japanese-style buildings in the old streets of Takayama. The completely different style is meant to give you a strong style.
In fact, what is really unique is a bridge over Miyagawa River.
On the left and right sides of the Forge Bridge are the Miyagawa Asaichi Takayama Old Street (Sanden Building Complex: Kamisan, Kamini, and Ichino), Honmachi Street, and Kokubunji Street.
What's special is that there is a lane for cars on the bridge. The most special thing is the "Forging Monster Bronze Statue" on the left and right.
The beautiful scenery of the entire river is amazing. I will definitely be unforgettable after seeing it once.
It’s so beautiful especially in winter. It’s worth coming back several times to take photos!

Hida's oldest temple, Hida Kokubun-ji
Hida Kokubun-ji is a thousand-year-old temple located in Takayama, Japan. It is located at 506-0007 Gifu Prefecture, Takayama City, Sowamachi 1-83, about a 5-minute walk from JR Takayama Station. Admission is free. The temple is like a wise and gentle old man, quietly telling stories of the past and present. Inside the temple, a thousand-year-old ginkgo tree stands tall, with lush branches and leaves that provide shade. In the center of the trunk, a small Buddha guards the tree, adding a touch of romance and tranquility to the ancient temple. The main hall, the oldest building in Takayama City, has withstood the test of time and remains solemn. Inside the hall, Yakushi Nyorai and Kannon Bodhisattva are enshrined, their compassionate gaze seemingly able to see into people's hearts, providing endless comfort and strength. Strolling through the temple, whether it is the rebuilt three-story pagoda or the bell tower gate said to have been moved from Takayama Castle, every visitor can feel the unique charm of Hida Kokubun-ji.
