十王村之水, Natural spring water source in Juo Village, Japan.
The water source of Juo Village is a natural spring in the hills where pure mountain water emerges from underground aquifers. Water flows from multiple collection points and can be gathered by residents and visitors directly from designated taps.
The spring has supplied the local community since the Edo period, when villagers built a system of bamboo pipes for distribution. This old infrastructure shows the long tradition of water use in the region.
Local residents maintain traditional water conservation practices, organizing monthly cleaning sessions and monitoring water quality through community initiatives.
Visitors can collect water directly at the taps using their own containers, with parking available near the main collection point. It is helpful to bring containers and observe the marked areas.
The water has a mineral composition that reflects the geological layers of Mount Ibuki and contains beneficial traces of calcium and magnesium. This natural composition makes the water valued by many visitors.
