Yui Station is a tourist hub located at the foot of the hill from where you can start hiking up to see Ono Castle on the hilltop. Inside the station, there is a free resting place called, 'Daimyo's Retreat'. A Daimyo was a feudal lord, the head of a domain during the Edo Period, today's equivalent of prefectural governor. However, these days anyone can be a governor, but back then only descendants of samurai who did a great job in the Sengoku Period could assume the position of Daimyo. So, to be able to take a rest at 'Daimyo's Retreat' should be a privilege and honor. Anyway, it's free to use, so don't miss taking a rest in feudal lord style if you ever come to Ono Castle Town!
