Gunma Prefecture 邑楽郡A doctor's birthplace gate at a temple.
Ogino Ginko birthplace gatehouse01 ／ Ferry
The Akaiwa Ferry, a motor boat, links Akaiwa in Chiyoda with the opposite bank of the Tone River in Kumagaya, Saitama Prefecture. It runs on a prefectural road, so the fare is free. The Chiyoda-maru carries 23 passengers and the Shin-Chiyoda-maru 20. The town says the ferry appears in documents of Uesugi Kenshin from the Sengoku period.
02 ／ Stone slab
This Jizo Bodhisattva image slab (itabi) is enshrined in an open-sided hall just inside the gate of Koon-ji temple, on the left. Made in 1271, it is popularly known as Kobo Daishi's “Tsumabiki Jizo”, and the town calls it valuable Kamakura-period stone art. It is a Gunma Prefecture Important Cultural Property.
03 ／ Nursery trees
According to the town, about 70 to 80 farm households grow seedlings and flowering trees on roughly 100 hectares of nursery fields, mainly in the north-west of the town. They began with mulberry fields and mountain seedlings in the early Taisho era and started full-scale tree growing around 1952–53. They also take on landscaping and exterior work for public projects.
