【Designated by the City：Historic Site】Ubu-ka

It is not clear when this Ga was dug, but in the history book, Yoseikyuki (1727), it is written, “大川掘年数不相知歴代二成及大破候、康熈五拾六丁酉年修補牛馬之用水所” and taking the fact that upgrading work was conducted in 1717, and through this record we can see that the Ubu-ka existed at the beginning of the 18th century.
In the past, horses and cows were important sources of labor, and among the numerous wells and springs, it is rare to find one that was specifically for the horses and cows.
The Ubu-ka was no longer used after war, upon the development of the water system and the sharp decline in keeping cattle. The Ubu-ka came to be buried in soil but as part of the general work conducted on cultural properties, it was unearthed in October of 2004. For the first time in approximately 50 years, the Ubu-ka was visible for the people to learn about the aspects of the water source from the past.
