History

During the Edo period, rice granaries lined the river on both sides that lead downstream to the port on Ise Bay. Starting with the Meiji period and industrialization, Ōno Beach became a popular point during the summer, with a number of villas being constructed for the wealthy.[1]

On April 1, 1954 the city of Tokoname was established by the merger of the towns of Tokoname, Ōno, Onizaki and Nishiura and the village of Sanwa.
