【Entry Number ２２】
Ono City’s Castle and Architecture
The area of Ono City retains its original layout, patterned after a go-board. Constructed by Kanamori Nagachika, loyal retainer to Oda Nobunaga, the town below the castle separated samurai and commoner residences, as well as Buddhist temples, from one another. 400 years later, the spirit and architecture of the original town are alive and well.
【Entry Number ２３】
Renowned Waters of Ono
Ono City is a treasure house of clear springs which can be found throughout the city and its environs. Among them Itoyo-cho’s Hongan Shozu is particularly important, being a waterway dug to feed water to the castle town and the beginning of the city’s notoriety as a home to pure waters.
