A samurai residence townscape where one of Japan's 100 Best Waters flows
About this spot
A water channel that brings the clear waters of the Ogawa River, selected as one of Japan's 100 Best Waters, through the town. It continues to flow quietly today along the former samurai residence townscape of Obata Domain. White-walled earth walls and old gate houses line the waterway, and the clear flow and stone wall scenery convey the Edo-period atmosphere. You can see fish swimming in the clear water—a refreshing spot that makes you forget the summer heat.
