This is the site of the castle where Ogo, the mother of Tokugawa’s third shogun, Iemitsu, first married. There is now an observatory resembling a castle keep, offering a panoramic view of Ise Bay.
This castle was the home of the powerful Saji family. Ono Castle is located in an important strategic location in the region. It is also known as the first married home of the Oeyo (the mother of Tokugawa Iemitsu). Today a donjon themed viewing platform is at the center of the Shiroyama Park giving a panoramic view of the Suzuka Mountains and Ise Bay.
Ono Rurigahama is said to be the world's oldest swim beach. Known for sunset views, it faces the far-off Suzuka Mountains across Ise Bay. The sun descending over these waters will take your breath away.

Matsuo-san was founded in 1314 as one of the seventeen sub-temples of Ogura-san Rendaiji Temple to ward off evil spirits.
Rendaiji Temple was built under the protection of the Isshiki clan, who ruled this area, by imperial decree of Emperor Hanazono, but due to the wars of the Warring States period, only Sankō-in Temple remains today.
