Ohama

Japanese: 大浜 - おおはま

A port town in Aomi District, Mikawa Province, located near present-day Hamadera Town, Hekinan City, Aichi Prefecture. Before the Keicho period (1596-1615), when Aburagafuchi was an inlet, Ohama-go formed a peninsula and was an important location for maritime traffic. According to documents from Shomyoji Temple in 1421, Toimaru was located here, and it was a distribution center for lumber with large and small ships entering the port. From travel writings such as "Fuji Rekiranki" and "Togoku Kiko," it is known that it was on the transportation route between Owari, Ise, and Mikawa. Oda Nobunaga often attacked the area, and Tokugawa Ieyasu is said to have built a fort here as well. During the Edo period, it was a base for transporting rice as tax and flourished as a shipping port for agricultural products. It was one of the five ports in the three districts of Aomi, Hazu, and Hoi designated by the shogunate magistrate in 1635. Its trading area extended from the Mikawa Bay area to the coast of Ise Bay, and further to Edo and Osaka. In 1798, eight cargo ships were attached to the port, and rice, sake (Sanshu sake), tiles, ginned cotton, and other products were shipped to Edo. Of the 32,112 koku of Mikawa sake shipped downstream in 1836, the majority of Hekikai County's share was shipped from Ohama Port. Return goods from Edo included soybeans, adzuki beans, dried sardines, fish cakes, and fish oil. The port continued to thrive as a commercial port even after the Meiji era began.

三河国碧海(あおみ)郡の港町で，現在の愛知県碧南(へきなん)市浜寺(はまでら)町付近にあった。油ヶ淵(あぶらがふち)が入江であった慶長（1596年−1615年）以前の大浜郷は半島状をなし，海上交通の要地であった。1421年の称名寺文書によれば，問丸(といまる)が所在し，大小の船が入港する材木の集散地であった。《富士歴覧記》《東国紀行》など紀行文からも尾張・伊勢と三河の交通路にあたっていたことが知られ，織田信長はしばしば当地を攻め，徳川家康も砦を築いたとされる。江戸時代は年貢米輸送の基地となり，産出品の積出港としても栄えた。1635年幕府代官が指定した碧海・幡豆(はず)・宝飯(ほい)３郡の５ヵ所湊の一。商圏は三河湾一帯から伊勢湾沿岸，さらに江戸・大坂に及んだ。1798年には廻船８艘が所属，米や酒（三州酒），瓦，繰綿などが江戸に積み出された。1836年改めの三河の下り酒のうち，碧海郡の分３万2112石余の大部分が大浜湊から積み出されている。江戸からの帰り荷は大豆・小豆・干鰯(ほしか)・〆粕(しめかす)・魚油など。明治に入ってからも商港として栄えた。
