Utilities include propane gas, which is noted for its relatively quick restoration after disasters, offering peace of mind.

The surrounding area of Gifu City is rich in history and natural beauty. An interesting fact is that Gifu was a major center during the Sengoku (Warring States) period and is famous for its traditional cormorant fishing (ukai) on the Nagara River, a practice that has continued for over 1,300 years. The closest major landmark from this property is the historic Gifu Castle, perched atop Mount Kinka. Accessible by a scenic ropeway, the castle offers panoramic views of the city and the Nobi Plain, and its museum provides deep insights into the region's samurai past.
