Oiseoise

Also known as: 笈瀬・笈瀬川

An old place name surviving in the western part of Nagoya, known locally as a particularly difficult reading. The name is believed to derive from Oisekai, a small river that once flowed through the area, and remains one of the region's prime examples of obscure historical place names.
