Ochiai Village
落合集落
It is a nationally designated Important Preservation District for Groups of Traditional Buildings.
The village is formed on a steep slope, and the difference between the highest and lowest points is approximately 390 meters, making it the steepest among the designated areas.
Houses built from the mid-Edo period to the early Showa period (late 17th century to early 20th century), stone walls made by piling up stones one by one, and fields remain, providing not only nostalgic scenery but also high historical value in terms of the ingenuity used to form the village on the slope.
The entire village can be seen from the “Ochiai Settlement Viewing Point” on the opposite side.Buckwheat flowers blooming all over the fields are also a highlight.
Although the origins of the village are not known, the Iya region, including Ochiai Village, has legends of fallen Heike warriors and pioneer folklore.
