A quiet morning visit to an ancient shrine enveloped in a cedar grove

About this spot

Hakusan Chukyo Shrine (白山中居神社) is a shrine that has drawn reverence since ancient times as the Mino-side base of Hakusan worship. Giant cedars said to be several hundred years old stand within the grounds, and their solemn atmosphere brings visitors a sense of calm. It stands in the mountains near the headwaters of the Nagara River, and paying your respects in the clear morning air is a pleasant way to start the day. It is a spot where you can savor the stillness so characteristic of Gujo, with historic shrine buildings in harmony with nature.

Season & hours

Name: 清流長良川あゆパーク

Date & time: 4月下旬–10月下旬の土日祝営業(夏休み期間は平日も営業・火曜定休)

Venue: 郡上市白鳥町・長良川

清流長良川あゆパークは、郡上市白鳥町の長良川沿いに整備された川遊びスポットです。2026年は4月下旬から10月下旬までの土日祝に営業し、夏休み期間中は平日も利用できます(火曜定休)。清流として名高い長良川の澄んだ流れにふれながら、水しぶきをあげて遊べるのが魅力です。周囲は緑豊かな山あいの風景に囲まれ、川のせせらぎを聞きながらのんびり過ごせます。水がまだ冷たい午前中よりも、日差しが高くなる午後のほうが過ごしやすい時間帯です。

Tips

訪問前に営業日(土日祝・夏休みは平日も可、火曜定休)を確認しておきましょう。川の流れは場所によって深さが変わるため、小さな子どもは目を離さず、ライフジャケットの着用がおすすめです。濡れてもすべりにくい靴を履いていくと安全に過ごせます。
