Noted in a local folksong as "Mountain of treasures",
Bandai Mountain is rich also in natural resources including
spring waters in west foot of the mountain.
Of countless spring water sources in the mountain foot, "Ryugasawa
Yusui" is most well known. A legend of the spring goes
that great ancient priest Kukai prayed for rainfalls at the
very spot of Ryugasawa Yusui.
So quietly spiritual atmosphere prevails around the water
sources.
