Hachimanbori

Hachimanbori

Yahata-bori is a waterway built during the Azuchi-Momoyama period by Toyotomi Hidetsugu to support the castle town of Yahata-yama. It played a significant role in the development of Omi merchants and the prosperity of the town. Until the early Showa period, it was a hub for economy and distribution, but after the war, it declined due to the development of land transportation and faced the threat of landfill. However, thanks to local preservation efforts, it has regained its beauty, and today visitors can enjoy its charming landscape. Along the canal, traditional white-walled storehouses and old residences line the banks, making it also known as a filming location for period dramas. The scenery changes with the seasons, offering a captivating experience, and touring in traditional boats is quite popular.
