Ono

Ono lies in the Ōno Basin beside the upper Kuzuryū River, where mountains enclose a broad inland plain in eastern Fukui Prefecture. This former castle town is closely associated with clear spring water, fed by snowmelt and long central to local daily life. Echizen Ōno Castle rises on Kameyama hill; founded in 1576 by the feudal lord Kanamori Nagachika, it remains the city’s defining historic landmark. The present castle tower was reconstructed in 1968, while streets below retain the compact layout of a provincial jōkamachi. In colder months, fog can sometimes gather across the basin beneath the hill. Continue with other webcams from Fukui Prefecture to see how this part of central Japan connects regionally.
