Shirakawa water source

Jung Lee in the last week

This is one of the 100 source for spring water in Japan. You can see the spring water actually come up from the bottom of the spring and flowing out to the river. Many people go through the pretty spots here. Of course you should drink from the spring. Water does taste amazing. Free Parking available in short distance from the spring on the main road. Recommend to bring your own bottles to fill up with water to take home free. Otherwise you will have to buy from the vendors inside bottles for about $1 to $3 depending on size.

Not easily accessible, most people go by car to visit this place. You can fill your own water bottle free of charge. However, ¥100 is required to enter the site.

Fresh and clean water directly from the spring. Feel so good in coming for 15 mins.

As others wrote before - the spring is great and the water tastes good. We had a wonderful surprise at a little shop at the entrance: for 1,200 yen you can create your own washi paper! It lasts around 30 minutes to do it, and we loved it. There are many various towels to buy at the shop in addition to many washi paper creations.

It costs 100¥ to enter, ut then you can fill your water bottle directly at the source, which is very cool! So bring your own bottle or buy an empty one there and fill it with Japan's clearest water!
