The Seino Guide 2010 - 2011 The Seino Guide 2010 - 2011 The guide to all things Seino for the JET community. 1 Acknowledgements The JET Programme has over 10 ALTs stationed in Seino. There are also a fair number of “has been’s” floating around the area as well. The following information profiling Seino townships and the city of Ogaki has been graciously volunteered unto the Seino RPAs by ALTs new and old. Past authors of the Seino guide include: 2003-2004 Audra Loyal Christian Sheehan 2004-2005 Rachel Victor Shane Moore 2005-2006 Adele Phillips PJ Standlee 2006-2007 Josh Brunotte Kelly Madland 2007-2008 Josh Brunotte Matt Stoner 2007-2008 Matt Stoner Erin Plant 2008-2009 Rachel Owen 2009-2010 Jodie Condick Rachel Owen As much as we would like this work to be the definitive guide to Seino, we realize that it would be impossible and unreasonable to create such a guide. Please make considerable use of this compilation, but know that there is so much more out there than what is represented here. Do not be afraid of asking fellow JETs, coworkers, neighbors, or even random strangers for help or information. Despite what language barriers there may or may not be, whomever you ask is likely to help you as much as possible. If they are unable to help, they’ll probably direct you to someone who can. Of course don’t forget, your friendly RPAs are here to help, too. Rachel Owen and Heather Meehan 2 Where We Are You’re not in Kansas anymore. You are in the Seino area of Gifu Prefecture in the Tokai region of Japan’s Honshu Island. Still have no clue where you are? Have a look below! 3 Note: Only a few of the regions townships and cities are represented in this map. 4 西濃地区 Seino-chiku Gifu Prefecture is comprised of five regions: Hida, Tono, Chuno, Gifu, and Seino. The southern half of Gifu was once called Mino, while the northern half has been called Hida since time immemorial, or so we are led to believe. The name Mino (美濃 ) accounts for the “no” in the names Seino (西濃 ), Chuno (中濃 ) and Tono (東濃 ), while sei means west, chu means middle, and to means east. As its name implies, Seino is the most western edge of Gifu Prefecture. It contains the site of a historically significant battle, was traversed by the famous Nakasendo trade route, and is known to this day for water: high water tables, flooding, and tasty potable water. Seino is comprised of 21 smaller regions. From northern-most to southern-most they are: 藤橋村 ふじはしむら Fujihashi-mura 坂内村 さかうちむら Sakauchi-mura 久瀬村 くぜむら Kuze-mura 谷汲村 たにぐみむら Tanigumi-mura 揖斐川町 いびがわちょう Ibigawa-cho 春日村 かすがむら Kasuga-mura 大野町 おおのちょう Ono-cho 池田町 いけだちょう Ikeda-cho 神戸町 ごうどちょう Godo-cho 垂井町 たるいちょう Tarui-cho 赤坂町 あかさかちょう Akasaka-cho 関ヶ原町 せきがはらちょう Sekigahara-cho 大垣市 おおがきし Ogaki-shi 墨俣町 すのまたちょう Sunomata-cho 安八町 あんぱちちょう Anpachi-cho 上石津町 かみいしづちょう Kamiishizu-cho 養老町 ようろうちょう Yoro-cho 輪之内町 わのうちちょう Wanouchi-cho 平田町 ひらたちょう Hirata-cho 南濃町 なんのうちょう Nanno-cho 海津町 かいづちょう Kaizu-cho Note: Many of these townships have consolidated and so are technically under a different city name (市-shi), but still use the same town names (町-cho). Train Transportation Even if you don’t have a car of your own, Seino is a relatively easy area to get around in, to and from. Most car-less JETs rely on trains. Running east and west through the middle of Seino is the JR Tokkaido Line (there’s also a secondary line running between Ogaki and Sekigahara: the Mino-Akasaka Line). It is the best way to start off if you’re 5 headed for day trips west towards Kobe, Osaka, Kyoto and Hikone, or east to Gifu, Nagoya, Toyota, Centrair, Tokyo and other destinations. There are trains running north and south within Seino as well; the Yoro Tetsudo runs north and south between Ogaki and Kuwana, stopping in Yoro, and northwest to Ibi from the Ogaki Yoro Tetsudo Station. Additionally, there is the Tarumi Line (northeast) from Ogaki JR. The Shinkansen cuts through Seino as well, but the closest stop, Hashima, is nothing short of inconvenient for most JETs. If you would like to go somewhere to the west or north of Gifu via Shinkansen, first take JR to Maibara, and then board the Shinkansen. If you are interested in eastern Japan, go to Nagoya via JR, and then board the Shinkansen. The Shuttle Ticket, or shatteru kippu, is available from Ogaki, Tarui and Sekigahara stations and is a round-trip discount Shinkansen ticket to Kyoto and Osaka. To take advantage of the ticket, take the normal JR line to Maibara and then transfer to the Shinkansen to continue onwards. From Ogaki to Osaka the trip normally takes 1hr 30mins and to Kyoto, around 1hr 15mins. Prices from Ogaki: Kyoto (round-trip) ¥4480, Osaka (round-trip) ¥6060. Before running off to the station to gaze at the time tables, or buy a big time schedule book at your local Book Off, check out these sites first: www.jorudan.co.jp/english/norikae www.hyperdia.com (then click English) Both of these sites are in English and can be very helpful in planning your trips. Simply plug information into the required fields then wait a few seconds while the site generates several itinerary options for you. The Japanese version of Hyperdia often has more choices and more information available than the English version. It is recommended that if you are planning a long trip and want to print your schedule, do it first in English and then in Japanese. That way you’ll have a schedule that has the kanji that you’ll need to be looking out for, but one that is also easy for you to check. Before you run off to exotic sites outside of Seino, check out what your neighbors have to offer! Listed below are websites for most of the townships in Seino. They are in Japanese, but can be of use to you nevertheless. Also listed below are descriptions of things to do and see in Seino. As you can see, there’s plenty of ways to keep busy in Seino. 藤橋村 Fujihashi-mura (incorporated with Ibigawa-cho in 2005) Fujihashi-mura is home to an observatory, and it’s a fairly modest-sized one at that. The Fujihashi Castle houses the Nishimino Planetarium, as well as a small historical exhibit. 谷汲村 Tanigumi-mura (incorporated with Ibigawa-cho in 2005) This tiny mountain village north of Ogaki is great for an afternoon outing. Tanigumi is famed as one of the best places to see fall foliage in Gifu Prefecture. It has a quaint, shop-lined main street terminating in a large temple complex. The main temple has a ‘key’ of sorts kept in the darkness under the temple. It is said that if one ventures down through the dark path underneath and touches the ‘key’ he or she will have good luck. A short drive away, another temple complex features none other than Japan’s only mummy (ミイラ miira). Before achieving mummification— enlightenment was never his goal— the former monk starved himself to death in a cave out of a desire to become something similar to a statue of Buddha, forever frozen in a state of meditation. He 6 charges 500 円 per viewing. To get to the mummy, take the Tarumi Line from Ogaki to Tanigumi-guchi (560 円), then take a bus to Tanigumi-san Temple. The Tarumi train runs infrequently, so it may be best to befriend someone with a car. 揖斐川町 Ibigawa-cho http://www.town.ibigawa.gifu.jp/ With its many rivers, big and small, Ibi is known for ayu fishing in the summer. Along the rivers there are little stalls that locals set up to prepare the sweet fish fresh for their neighbours or customers from afar. Ibi has a ramen shop named Ban Rai Ramen. To get there, take the Yoro Tetsudo-Ibi Line from Ogaki Yoro Tetsudo station all the way to the last stop, Ibi. Walk toward the main road from the station, turn right and walk north. The shop is readily seen as it has a big yellow sign with red kanji. Ban Rai is reputed to be “one of the best ramen and cha-han places you’ll be able to find in the area.” Ibigawa-cho is also home to Yashaga-ike, a pond with an incredible legend. It is located atop a mountain in Sakauchi-mura (incorporated in 2005) and has been the destination of past JET hiking excursions. Here is a brief version of the legend (ask Erin if you want the longer version): Once a long time ago during the Heian Period there was a relentless drought in the Godo-cho area. One day, a man of influence by the name of Yasutsugu unwittingly complained about the weather to a grass snake. He told the serpent he would offer his daughter in marriage if it would make it rain. However, this was no ordinary snake. It happened to be no other than an incarnation of the Yashaga-ike dragon god. The deity appeared in Yasutsugu’s dreams that night promising to fulfill his wish, and immediately thereafter rain poured down on the land. As a result, when the deity came in human form to collect his bride, Yasutsugu had no choice but to make good on his promise. His daughter went to live with the god in his mountain pond and is said to have become a dragon herself.
