Sawara historic district 佐原の町並み（小野川沿い）
In 1996, the first in the Kantō: a protected historic district, with houses still facing the canal.
The district along the Ono River and the Katori-kaidō street was designated an ‘Important Preservation District for Groups of Traditional Buildings’ (重要伝統的建造物群保存地区) in December 1996, the first in the Kantō. Inō Tadataka, the cartographer who surveyed the whole of Japan on foot, was born and lived here.
