Ono, Mountain castle town in Fukui Prefecture, Japan.

Ono is a mountain city in Fukui Prefecture that spreads across a wide landscape and features natural springs with clear, fresh water in several locations. The city combines historical structures with natural features that define its hillside setting.

The city began as a castle town during the Edo period and was rebuilt after a major fire in the 1800s. This reconstruction reshaped the city's layout and structure.

Teramachi Street displays a series of temples that shape the city's religious life and give visitors insight into spiritual traditions. Walking along this street shows how the temples influence daily community life and how people maintain their connection to these sacred places.

The city is well connected by public transport and visitors can easily reach the main sights. The best time to explore is during warmer months when the streets are pleasant to walk through.

A local spring produces water of such high quality that it was historically reserved only for the ruling elite. Today any visitor can taste this water and experience its clarity themselves.
