What is Shizu-no-wakkutsu?

Shizu-no-wakkutsu is in Rikuzentakata city. It was selected as one of the 20 famous water of Iwate in 1985.

It is said that 17,000ℓ of water is gushing out from here everyday. The temperature of water is almost the same throughout the year, so It’s very cold in summer that you can’t keep your hand in the water. The water never dry up until now.

The water is used by people living there. They always clean up this place to protect clean water.

Visitars can also see ‘Baikamo’. It’s water-crowfoot that grows in a beautiful and quiet river.
