Hello everyone.

Hakojima Yuusui

Hakojima Yuusui is a spring water located in Higashiazuma Town, Gunma Prefecture⛲
The spring water has been selected as one of Japan's ❝100 Best Waters❞✨
It was certified by the current Ministry of the Environment in 1985😄

It is about a 250m walk from the parking lot to the spring water !
Spring water gushes out from the roots of the large cedar tree at Hakojima Fudoson

Hakojima spring water gushes out like a waterfall

Unlike the image of calm spring water, Hakojima Yuusui flows out like a waterfall😳
The amount of water gushing out per day is a whopping 30,000t !!

Converting this to the amount of gush per minute, it is approximately 20,833ℓ...
So, what if we recalculated using a 2ℓ plastic bottle ?

The amount of water gushing out is equivalent to approximately 10,000 2ℓ plastic bottles per minute !?!?

Now you can see how amazing the volume of Hakojima Yuusui is😇

Hakojima Dam
Hakojima Dam

In the past, there was a dam called Hakoshima Dam, due to its abundant spring water.

It was built in 1910📅
It is said to be the oldest rockfill dam in Gunma Prefecture, and the remains of the original structure intact.

By the way, at Hakojima Yuusui, you can directly draw water from the flowing river and take it home😋
The force of the water is strong, but be bold and scoop it up to enjoy the delicious taste🍸
