Gandate Gorge

Located at the confluence of the Osaka River and Nigori River, Gandate Gorge is home to the majestic Gandate Rock Wall, designated as a Natural Monument of Gifu Prefecture. This colossal rock formation stands 72 meters high and 120 meters wide, created by the lava flow from Mount Ontake's eruption about 54,000 years ago. The unique geological structure, known as "columnar jointing," gives the appearance of numerous columns standing side by side.

Port of Humanity Tsuruga Museum

Tsuruga Port was developed as an international port to connect Japan and Europe via the Siberian Railway from the Meiji Period through early Showa Period. In the 1920s, Polish orphans came here who lost families in Siberia during the chaos of the Russian Revolution. In the 1940s, Jewish refugees landed here who were saved with the “Visa for Life” issued by Chiune Sugihara.

I only learned after visiting that you could once travel to Europe by taking a ship from Tsuruga to Vladivostok, then a train across Siberia to Paris. It was a major international route that saved a lot of time.
