Where is TONO in Gifu Prefecture?

Gifu Prefecture is a mountainous region located in the center of Japan. To the east of it lies the Higashi Mino region, which is about an hour away from the Nagoya metropolitan area but retains a rural atmosphere. It is home to abundant nature, unique food and lifestyle culture, and industries that make good use of nature, attracting charming people who live there.

Millions of years ago, a large volcanic eruption resulted in the deposition of pyroclastic flow materials that created a hard ground, with active faults running through it vertically and horizontally, forming a dynamic landscape.

Most of the area is covered by forests, creating a rich ecosystem and supporting a thriving forestry industry for timber production.
