Ogaki, Japan

Small city, big heart

Ogaki is a small city located in Gifu prefecture, known for water. There are numerous fountains and springs completely safe to drink from. While it doesn’t have the skyscrapers and endless designer shops like Tokyo, it has its own charm that make it worth visiting. I’ve called Ogaki my home for almost two years now, and I thoroughly enjoy living here. If you need a change of pace from sleepy rice fields and biking along the river, you can head to Nagoya on a 30 minute train ride.

There are plenty of things to do in Ogaki, but some things are not as easy to find. A post to come will detail some places to visit and events to check out if you find yourself out this way.
