Leisurely Stroll Through the Riverside Town Streets That Flourished During the Edo Period Through Boat Transport

About this spot

A historic town with streets that lined the important Mogami River riverbank during the Edo period. Along the riverside where boats laden with safflower and rice once plied their trade, warehouse-style buildings and old merchant houses are scattered, allowing visitors to feel the weight of history in the quiet atmosphere. Before the evening fireworks, taking time during the day to feel Oishida's history of walking alongside the Mogami River will help connect the story of your entire day.

Tips

Within walking distance from Oishida Station (大石田駅). During summer, the sun is strong, so a hat or parasol is recommended for peace of mind. Since the town streets are also residential roads, please explore quietly while being considerate of residents.
