Known for the "Udatsu-lined Streets," symbols of wealth and wisdom of Edo-period merchants, Mino City is also world-famous for its 1,300-year history of "Mino Washi" paper. Walking through the historic district decorated with delicate paper lanterns and art feels like traveling back in time. You can try paper-making workshops to create your own original art using traditional techniques. In autumn, the city hosts the "Akari Art Festival," where the historic landscape is illuminated by paper lanterns, creating a mystical and photogenic atmosphere that is a must-see for art lovers.
