Cool off at Saijo's famous spring water "Uchinuki" and take a break
About this spot
Throughout Saijo City's downtown area, many spring water spots called "Uchinuki" naturally flow where rainwater that falls on the Ishizuchi Mountain range passes through the underground. The clear water, selected as one of Japan's 100 best waters, remains an essential part of the townspeople's daily lives. At locations set up as water collection points, you can actually soak your hands and experience the coldness. It's the perfect way to cool off on a hot summer afternoon—a distinctly Saijo experience.
