Have you ever wanted to take a step back in time to ancient Japan?
Ono City, Fukui Prefecture is a castle town located in the Hokuriku region with more than 400-years of history. This town still holds a strong image of a castle town and it is well-known as “Little Kyoto.”
Ono City is surrounded by a magnificent natural environment. It has many mountains including “Arashimadake,” one of the selected “one hundred exquisite mountains of Japan.” Ono City has also been selected as one of the “one hundred exquisite towns with water wells in Japan” designated by the National Land Agency because the city has famous spring water, “Oshozu,” which was selected as one of the “one hundred exquisite waters of Japan.” Ono City’s impressive old scenery and its rich nature is also known as “Yui no Kuni.”
The word “yui” represents a custom of people helping each other with farm work, forestry, events,and rituals in traditional rural villages. It also stands for Ono having played an important role in connecting and economically helping activate local areas. In this way, Echizen Ono is a homeland gradually bonding lives and areas filled with yui.
