Hida City in Gifu Prefecture is a town blessed with abundant nature, surrounded by mountains such as the Northern Alps, with forests accounting for approximately 93% of its total land area. In addition to its rich natural resources, it is a treasure trove of diverse and highly unique regional assets. These include the Furukawa Festival and Okoshi Daiko (Rousing Drum), which are UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritages; astrophysics research facilities like 'Super Kamiokande', which contributed to a Nobel Prize in Physics; and rural landscapes that served as the model for the blockbuster animated film 'Your Name'.
