長良川鉄道でめぐる日本文化の集積地
The Nagaragawa Railway(長良川鉄道), selected as one of the top 5 local railways to enjoy Japan's summer, offers a 1 hour and 30-minute train journey from JR Mino-Ōta (美濃太田)Station on the JR Takayama Line(高山線) to Gujo-Hachiman(郡上八幡).
Unlike high-speed trains like the Shinkansen, the Nagaragawa Railway provides a leisurely and relaxing experience, allowing for interactions with local residents. Nagaragawa railway can be paid for with a VISA credit card tap-on, so there is no need to purchase a ticket before boarding. The railway is also friendly to non-Japanese travelers.(切符不要のカード決済)
