Southern Kyushu is known for its immense volcanic soil layers.
The unique soil gives birth to spring water of Kiyomizu. Thousands
of tons of water is said to be naturally produced at the spring
site. Today it is under control of the local town who takes
charge in preserving the purity of the water.
In a precipice nearby the water a large Buddha statue sits,
which is said to have been sculptured over centuries.
