Takashimizu-cho in Kurihara county is gifted with clean spring
waters as the town name "High spring waters" correctly
suggests. 7 water source spots have long been widely recognized,
among which "Katsuraha Shimizu" is regarded as the
representing source in the region.
At the source, pure water tranquilly spouts out from a round
stone-made well by a large Japanese Judas tree. This natural
setting is behind naming of the spring as "Spring water
under Japanese Judas tree leaves". By the well stands
a resonance pot called "Suikin-Kutsu" (hole of water
strings), healing those who listen to the sound this pure
spring water makes.
As quantity of the spring water in rather shallow well is
not so large, local residents treat the water and the water
spot with deep care.
