【Driving in Japan】Gifu Prefectural Route 70 : Shirakawa - Fukuoka [Insta 360 Ace Pro 4K60P]

Gifu Prefectural Route 70 is a major regional road that connects Shirakawa-cho and Nakatsugawa City, Fukuoka. This road runs along the Kurokawa River, a tributary of the Hida River.

Shirakawa-cho is known as one of Japan's leading tea producing areas. It is said that Shirakawa tea began when a temple priest brought tea berries from Uji in Kyoto and spread tea cultivation to the local people.
The climate and environment of Shirakawa are suitable for tea cultivation, as described as "deep mountain valley with a lot of river mist in the morning and evening, the air is always moist, and the topsoil is often dry." Tea has been cultivated here for over 400 years, and it has flourished as a producer of high-quality tea, such as presenting tea to the feudal domain since the Edo period. Currently, Shirakawa tea has received high praise in numerous tea tastings and is one of the leading brand teas in the country.

Tea fields can also be seen along this road. Note that this area is not related to the famous World Heritage site "Shirakawa-go."
