About Echizen Ōno Castle Town Old Street

Known as the "Little Kyoto of Hokuriku," it is a historic old street located beneath the Echizen Ōno Castle.


Details

Echizen Ōno Castle Town, surrounded by a sea of clouds, appears to float in the sky, earning it the nickname "Sky City." About 400 years ago, after Oda Nobunaga's vassal Kanamori Nagachika was granted the territory, he transformed the area into a grid-like street layout. The street extends westward from the eastern side's Teramachi, connecting the five, four, three, and two blocks to Honmachi Street, and is known for its unique style, earning the title "Little Kyoto of Hokuriku." The area is rich in historical sites, with about 20 temples of various sects lined up along Teramachi. It also features the restored samurai residence of the Uchinaka family, which made significant contributions to the reconstruction of the Ōno domain during the late Edo period. Traditional styles are still preserved today, with the morning market on Shichimen Street being a must-visit attraction. The morning market operates from the spring equinox until noon on New Year's Eve (December 31), offering a wide array of products such as agricultural goods, local specialties, and prepared foods. Visitors can enjoy shopping while exchanging information about cooking methods and ingredients with the locals. Additionally, there are several cafes, restaurants, and shops converted from old traditional houses, as well as accommodation facilities available.

Highlights

The quaint little town, known as the "Little Kyoto of Hokuriku," is filled with numerous vendors. The morning market on weekends attracts the largest crowds. First, head to the tourist information center on Shichikan Street to gather travel information about the town.
