Funamachi Port Ruins

Overview

Explore the historic Funamachi Port Ruins in Ogaki, a key hub for river transport during the Edo period. Located a 16-minute walk from Ogaki Station, this site features a restored Sumiyoshi Lighthouse and stone monuments marking its significance in connecting Ogaki and Kuwana via the Suimon River. The port is also associated with the famous poet Basho, who used it during his travels. Visit during the cherry blossom season in early April for picturesque views, or combine your visit with a trip to the nearby Okuno Hosomichi Musubi no Chi Memorial Museum to learn more about Basho's journey. This tranquil spot offers a glimpse into Ogaki's rich history as a city of waterways.
