    Leisure / Hobbies
    Niigata Nagaoka-shi Nishinakanomata 3996
    A park encompassing a famous spring located 50 minutes from the Nagaoka Interchange on the Kan-Etsu Expressway. The park’s spacious, 12-hectare grounds are outfitted with a restaurant, hall, teahouse, and campground. The Todo no Mori spring, which wells up on the park’s grounds, once supported village life, being used for drinking water and irrigation. The spring was selected for inclusion in the Ministry of the Environment’s Top 100 Famous Water list in 1985, and since that time its clear, quality waters have won it much popularity, with an unending stream of visitors making their way here from across the prefecture and beyond. The soft water spring continues to flow regardless of the season, and visitors can take home a bottle filled from the spring year round.

  • Ryugakubo
    Travel / Tourism
    Nigata Pref. Nakauonumaguntsunanmachi Yachi
    Ryugakubo spring, located in Yachi, Tsunan-machi, gushes forth from the Tsunan valley and has been selected as one of Japan's top 100 springs. The spring comes up from the Naeba volcanic layer at the rate of 30tons per minute. This incredible rate of turnover means that the water never muddies or clouds and the spring has become an intrinsic part of everyday life as a source of water for local residents. The Japanese beech trees and Mongolian oaks that surround the spring give it a mystical quality and there are many legends of dragons associated with the pond. The pond is an easy one-minute walk from the parking lot but as you continue around to the rear you'll find the Ryugakubo-jinja Shrine. The shrine draws lots of visitors and there you can ladle some of the spring water for yourself.
