Ogaki, City of Water Stroll and Water Manju

In Ogaki, called the 'City of Water,' enjoy a leisurely day's walk from Ogaki Castle with its white stone tower to the banks of Suimon River where willows sway, living alongside water. Ogaki Park next to the castle features large play equipment, a wonderful place where children can move their bodies freely. After tracing the site where Matsuo Bashō concluded his Okunosobomichi journey, your reward awaits at the established Japanese confectionery shop—a smooth and refreshing water manju. The finale is Sumomata Ichiya Castle, famous for Hideyoshi's legend of success, where families can touch upon historical romance. A sweet treat-tasting stroll course through history.
