Ogaki City, in the northwest of the Nobi Plain, is the central city of the Seino region, a "water town" rich in rivers such as the Ibi River and in spring water. It is known as the place where Matsuo Basho ended "The Narrow Road to the Deep North." Visitors can enjoy Ogaki Castle, tub boats on the Suimon River and the sweet mizu-manju. Traces of Akasaka-juku on the Nakasendo road remain.
