Discover Gifu - Tea, Craft, & Life

The Culture of Gifu



Gifu is located in the heart of Japan, Gifu Prefecture has long played an important role in Japanese history and culture.
Surrounded by mountains and clear rivers, the region developed as a crossroads connecting eastern and western Japan. Gifu is perhaps best known as the site of the Battle of Sekigahara in 1600 — a decisive turning point that shaped the future of Japan and marked the beginning of the Tokugawa shogunate. Alongside this rich history, Gifu has nurtured distinctive traditions of tea cultivation, pottery, and regional food culture that continue to thrive today.

The region is also home to distinctive tea-growing areas shaped by cool climates and local traditions. Beyond tea, Gifu is renowned for its ceramic heritage, traditional foods, and craftsmanship. Together, these cultural traditions reflect a way of life deeply connected to nature and the rhythms of everyday living.
