Means of transport in Gifu

Options for getting around the prefecture include public transport, such as trains and buses, as well as taxis and rental cars. When traveling around the vast and mountainous Gifu, it is sometimes more efficient not to rely solely on public transport but to use it in combination with taxis or rental cars. Also, compared with large cities such as Tokyo and Kyoto, public transport systems offer a limited number of services across a limited time span making it advisable to check timetables in advance with our Gifu trip guide for a smoother journey.
