[edit] About the official name
Hida's official name in Kanji is "飛單" not "飛騨" but the JIS Kanji font can't display any old Japanese kanji forms. (單=the old Japanese kanji form of "単"）Even after the creation of Hida, The Japanese Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications has allowed Hida to use the current kanji format.
