The first stop is Tsukiji Gorge, one of Gifu's foremost scenic spots. Crystal‑clear blue lake water winds through majestic granite cliffs while cascading waterfalls pour down the rock faces. As deep autumn sets in, the mountainside maples turn brilliant crimson and golden, with red leaves reflecting on the lake surface. The cliffs, waterfalls and colourful foliage interweave into a picturesque landscape ‑ photo‑worthy scenery at every turn. Stroll along the gorge trail and immerse yourself in the magnificent autumnal poetry of central Japan.

After enjoying the red leaf scenery during the day, night falls and we arrive at Achi Village, renowned as Japan's "best starry sky". On this exclusive event date, the village transforms into a dreamy wonderland. Millions of delicate crystalline bubbles float gently across the vast night sky, with shimmering starlight set against the ethereal bubbles ‑ a play of light overflowing with romance. Quietly gaze up at the vast starry heavens and drifting bubbles, savour this rare and healing night view, and create unforgettable memories that are impossible to replicate.
