Futarasan-jinja Shrine: Futara Reisen
This sacred spring is located to the rear of the precincts at Futarasan-jinja Shrine. Futara Reisen consists of the Yakushi Reisen spring which flows from a cave on Mt. Korei rising behind the main shrine, as well as Sake-no-Izumi, a spring flowing from the precincts at Takinoo-jinja Shrine toward the Nishishin-en garden. From ancient times it's been thought to relieve eye diseases, as well as rejuvenate youth and impart wisdom. The adjacent Azumaya tearoom offers beverages prepared with the sacred water like matcha green tea, coffee, and amazake (a sweet fermented rice drink). The water is also regarded as being superb for making sake, and prefectural breweries swear by it. Empty bottles are available for purchase to bring some of the water with you.

- 御利益が。
- 神苑の奥まったところにあります。自由にお水を飲んでよいそうで、おいしいお水でした。ひしゃくはありませんが、隣のお店で水を持ち帰るボトルを売っていました。

- 聖水を飲むことができます。
- 日光二荒山神社の有料エリアの中にあります。薬師の霊水、酒の泉、若返りの泉、3種類の聖水がコップやペットボトルなどがあれば自由に飲めます。そしてすぐ近くに、その聖水を使ったコーヒーや抹茶が飲めるカフェがありました。コーヒー美味しかったです。
