In the Edo period (1619), Wakebe Mitsunobu was transferred from Ueno Castle in Ise to Omizo with a fief of XNUMX koku and devoted himself to the construction of a castle town, as the castle had fallen into disrepair. The river was built in the center of the street to block distant views of urban warfare. A jin'ya (camp) was also built to the northwest of the castle, and the main gate of the jin'ya, parts of samurai residences, waterways and other remnants of the castle town remain today, with town names including Naginata-machi, Edoya-machi, Ise-machi, Funairi-machi, Kon'ya-machi, Shokunin-machi and Rosoku-machi. The Omizo Festival, the best float festival on the west side of the lake, also remains.
