About the Nihon Rhine Area
About 13-kilometer section of the Kiso River is sometimes called “Nihon Rhine” due to the similarity of the landscape to its German counterpart. This scenic section where a series of small cascades and pools as deep as 20 meters continue is designated as Hida-Kisogawa Quasi-National Park. Four cities and one town located along this Nihon Rhine, Inuyama of Aichi Pref. and Kagamihara, Kani, Minokamo and Sakahogi-cho of Gifu Pref. formed “Nihon Rhine” Film Commission Promotion Council to provide the related services.
This council covers rich nature and a wide variety of historical heritages: the national treasure Inuyama Castle and the open-air museum Meiji-mura in Inuyama City, the Aerospace Science Museum in Kagamihara City, Gifu Flower Festival Commemorative Park in Kani City, Ota-juku station of Nakasendo and Japan Showa Village park in Minokamo City, Kisogawa Romantic Kaido in Sakahogi-cho, and many, many more!
We are looking forward to your visit.
