Overview

Gujo Hachiman is one of Japan's many cities claiming to be the "Center of Japan" - but what sets it apart is its authentic castle town atmosphere and the famous Gujo Odori, one of the country's top three Obon dances. The city produces over 70% of Japan's plastic food samples, and visitors can make their own at several workshops.
