The Legend of the Great Serpent

Once upon a time, a huge snake that came to Hibi from Ozuchi Island troubled people.
There lived Kazi Fuzizaemon, who was an expert archer.
One night, he heard God’s voice in a dream, and when he woke up, he found a bow and an arrow at his bedside.
The next day he went out to dispatch the giant snake. It coiled itself around a large pine tree on the shore. Fuzizaemon shot an arrow at the snake with all his might and killed it.
People thanked God and admired Fuzizaemon for his courage.
Some scales and the jaw of the giant snake were dedicated to the Misaki Shrine in Hibi.

Floating a Barrel from Ozuchi Island

A boundary dispute occurred between the Bizen Clan and the Takamatsu Clan in 1732.
Hikokuro, a clever man, hit upon this idea to solve the problem of deciding what land belonged to which Clan.

The origin of Uno Port

In the old days Uno Port was small village called Uno Bay.
The major industries of this village were salt making and fishing.
It is said that this port was established around 1583, and when Hideyoshi Toyotomi
built Osaka Castle, a great deal of stone was carried from Uno Port.
This port was completed as a railway ferry terminal between Honshyu and Shikoku in 1910.
It opened as the first trading port in Okayama in 1930 and was designated as one of the important ports in the country in 1951.
Now, it has been refurbished as a major port for passenger boats.
