Hida or Hida Furukawa (飛騨市, Hida-shi, Hida Furukawa 飛騨古川) is a city located in Gifu, Japan. As of 1 December 2017[update], the city had an estimated population of 24,726, and a population density of 31 persons per km2, in 8,905 households.[1] The total area of the city was 792.53 square kilometres (306.00 sq mi). The official kanji for the city is actually 飛驒, which uses the old rendering of the 騨 character. However, the 驒 character is not included on the official list of usable characters (as decided by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications), so the 騨 character is often used outside of the city.
