Mizuho, City in Gifu Prefecture, Japan

Mizuho is a city in southwestern Gifu Prefecture shaped by two major rivers that flow through its boundaries. The Nagara and Ibi Rivers define the geography and create natural features across the municipal area.

The area was part of Ogaki Domain during the Tokugawa period and lay along important trade routes. Mieji-juku station, located on the Nakasendo highway, was a key stop for travelers moving between regions.

The area has deep roots in rice farming, a practice that shapes the landscape and local routines even today. This agricultural focus is reflected in place names that speak to prosperity and good harvests.

The city is well connected to national rail networks, with the Tokaido Main Line and local railway lines providing transport options. Visitors can use these stations to move around the area and explore the surrounding landscape.

The city has one of the highest population densities in the region, creating a tightly knit living environment. This concentrated settlement pattern shapes how the community functions and uses its shared spaces.
