Maruike, Tennogawa Park01 ／ Hotta House
A merchant house made up of a main building and three earthen storehouses, with a small storehouse joining the east storehouse (rice) and the west storehouse (storage). The storehouses lie in a line, reaching from the entrance through the main building's reception rooms, a layout said to be typical of Owari townhouses.
02 ／ Okkan Shrine
The city says a rain-bringing dragon god is enshrined here. The deity Okkan is mentioned in the Montoku Jitsuroku in 853, and the shrine stood in Kita-Kamori Village. When the Kamori post town opened in 1647, the village moved, and the shrine reached its present site in 1648.
03 ／ Juo-do
In the Edo period, Juo halls stood at Imaichiba, Hashizume, Shimokamae and Kitaguchi, on the four sides of Tsushima Village. Only the Imaichiba hall survives. The Juo statues of Kitaguchi are kept at Dairyuji and those of Hashizume at Saihoji. The statues and paintings are city cultural properties.
