Hida Deep Winter Escape

We visit Furukawa, an old district of Hida City in Gifu Prefecture, which is surrounded by mountains and stunning scenery. Furukawa flourished as a castle town 400 years ago, and traces of that time remain. Step out of its streets and an undeveloped woodland, called satoyama , spreads out. An old way of life and unique food culture have been passed down to today. Canadian Kyle Card discovers the gems of this area.
