The remarkable feature of this rare facility is its combination of historical value and scenic beauty. I have summarized the article as follows.

Invited by the fantastic weathered appearance of the red brick

Within walking distance from JR Gifu Station, there is a small red brick building on a small hill along the Nagaragawa River. It is the Gifu City Waterworks Bureau facility, the 'Water Experience Learning Center.' When it was first built in 1934, this building served as a pumping station.

Historical building gaining character over time

Instead of decaying over the years, the good old weathered charm that increases its unique character is one of the charms of this place. The intricate brick patterns, the round windows with pink window frames, and the thoughtfulness of the creators can be felt in the details, creating a mysterious space that mixes nostalgia and freshness.

Serene space embraced by water and green surroundings

The interior, overlooking a small garden surrounded by trees, is enveloped in the whispers of light, wind, and water. From the large windows, you can enjoy the beautiful nature and relax your body slowly. In the exhibitions themed around water culture, you can experience the importance of water resources.

An off-the-beaten-path spot to stop by while strolling around the town

Located slightly off the tourist destinations, this hidden spot is not well known even among the locals. If you have some spare time, why not stop by? It is recommended to visit while taking a leisurely walk.
