about

In Gifu's cool mountain creeks lives the Japanese giant salamander—one of the world's largest amphibians, growing over a meter long. Revered and heavily protected, this prehistoric creature hides under rocks and is hard to find without the help of an expert. Around it, Gifu's forests shelter deer, bears, and countless birds, adding wild weight to a region already known for its heritage and rural calm.
