Ogaki Castl was designated as a National Treasure in 1936. The present one is a reconstruction of the original which was destroyed during the Second World War. It is quite small but is of interest due to it's importance during the battle of Sekigahara.

" Oku no Hosumichi" was the title of the five month Literary journey of the great haiku poet Basho. This journey ended in Ogaki in the autumn of 1689.
Though documents and haiku in the Matsuo Basho Memorial Museum are in japanese, this museum is still worth a look as it is on the walking route around Ogaki City. At a guess, the total distance for the walk would be about seven kilometes.

今回、養老鉄道に大垣駅から始めて乗りました。美濃高田駅と烏江駅に行くためです。どちらも古い町並みが残っているらしいので。朝、6時過ぎの電車には少しの乗客でしたが、ほとんどの人がおにぎりやパンを食べていました。多分朝飯なのでしょう。なんとなくノンビリした気分になりました。沿線にはけっこう工場などがあって、きっと通勤客も多いのでしょう。それでも経営問題が浮上するあたり、地域の過疎化や高齢化が問題になるのでしょうか。頑張って、養老鉄道！

現在天守周りの敷地の整備が進められています。桜まつりの時期など臨時駐車場からの道も整備されるとお城に立ち寄りやすくなるでしょうね。

大垣市内を散策に行きました。至るところ湧き水が出ていましたが、その中でも自噴する井戸があり、ボランティアの方の勧めもあって飲んでみました。冬なので冷たい感じはなく美味しかったです。神社はごく普通の神社でしたが、境内に大垣天満宮があり学問の神様も祀られていました。

Aqua Walk is close to Ogaki station and the APA Hotel so is very conveniently located. It is a comfortable suburban shopping mall, clean and well-managed. While staying a few days in Ogaki, I went there a number of times - primarily to eat at the cafes but also to purchase gifts for Japanese friends. Nice to see some Seating around to take a rest during and after shopping - very much appreciated by this elderly Australian shopper! Aqua Walk is not a swanky, top-of-the range mall but is more than adequate for this quiet little town.

大垣の中心地駅前のメインロードの脇にある湧水です。もともとは大垣城内の敷地になる所です。大垣城の大手門跡を訪れようと商店街をぶらりとしてたら目立たない感じでありました。
