Maze [village] - Maze

Japanese: 馬瀬[村] - まぜ

A village in Masuda County, central Gifu Prefecture. Population 1,618 (1995). Located in the Mase River basin, a tributary of the Masuda River, which is part of the Hida River system, most of the village area is forest, with settlements and cultivated land scattered on the terraces along the Mase River. A typical mountain village, it has become significantly depopulated due in part to its submersion in the construction of Iwaya Dam in 1973. Freshwater fish are farmed in the clear waters of the Mase River, attracting many anglers. It is connected to Hagiwara Town by National Route 257. [Ueda Masako]

岐阜県中央部，益田郡の村。人口1618(1995)。飛驒川水系益田川の支流馬瀬川流域に位置し，村域のほとんどが山林で，集落と耕地は馬瀬川沿岸の段丘上に点在する。典型的な山村で，1973年の岩屋ダム建設による水没もあって過疎化が著しい。馬瀬川の清流では淡水魚の養殖が行われ，釣人を集める。国道257号線によって萩原町と結ばれる。【上田雅子】
