Location

History

Shirotori-Kōgen Station is on the Etsumi-Nan Line of the Nagaragawa Railway in Gujō, Gifu Prefecture. The station opened on 1 August 1955 as Futsukamachi Station (二日町駅) and was later renamed Shirotori-Kōgen. Gujō, in the Chūnō region of central Gifu, is the second-largest city in the prefecture by area after Takayama, with a municipal area exceeding 1,000 square kilometres formed by the 2004 merger of seven former towns and villages.

Notes

The town is known for the historic castle townscape of Gujō-Hachiman — described as "the little Kyoto of Oku-Mino" — for the summer Gujō Odori dance festival, and as a centre of Hakusan-shrine worship.
