Okura Village once prospered along with shipping on the Mogami River, and for 138 years from 1476, the Shimizu clan had a castle there and ruled over most of Mogami County. The name of the village of Okura comes from the 7th lord of the castle, Daisuke Shimizu Yoshichika, and the ruins of Shimizu Castle are designated as a prefectural historic site. In addition, there are rice terraces in four villages that have been selected as one of Japan's top 100 rice terraces, and Hijiori Onsen, which boasts a history of more than 1,200 years and continues to be loved as a traditional hot spring spa that heals and heals people. While valuing the scenery and environment, as well as the traditions and culture backed by history, we have declared ourselves the most beautiful village in Japan and live our daily lives with confidence and pride.
