Kamiōno

Upper Ōno lies in the mountain basin of Hida, around the castle town of Takayama. In 1585 Kanamori Nagachika conquered Hida and built a new castle above the town. Six generations of his family ruled from Takayama until 1692, when they were transferred to Dewa. The shogunate then placed Hida under direct administration and established an office in a former Kanamori residence across the Miyagawa from the castle.
