Onogawa Yusui are original sources of streams flowing into
"Onogawa Lake" in Bandai Asahi National Park. The
lake is one of those which were created by eruption of Bandai
Mountain in 1888.
A round-shaped spring quietly sits in forest, it can be observed
that fresh water jets out from bottom of the spring. The spring
water source is called "100 kan Spring" (kan is
old monetary unit) due to an episode that the spring was so
highly profiled and valued.
Another notable site is "Fudo Taki", a waterfall
which can be found in upstream of Ono River. One can watch
over 20 m of powerful fall from very close.
