Comment Many excellent old mansions and stores remain on the streets of Gokasho-cho. Particularly, the section of Kondo is nationally known as the cradle of Ohmi merchants, who built the basis of the modern Japanese economy. Today in Kondo, the principal residences of merchants beautifully harmonize with Shinto shrines and Buddhist temples.
Access 10 min. by bus from JR Notogawa Sta.
