Omihachiman Bori is Omi Hachiman’s historic district where there are many wonderful old buildings and canals. Along Shinmachi-dori, Nagaharacho-dori and Hachimanbori townhouses and warehouses from the Edo and Meiji periods are arrayed along tiny alleys and canals. This district has long been protected as individual citizens' property, but these days the city of Omi Hachiman helps protect and nurture these areas as a shared property of Omihachiman citizens.
