Saijo City is situated in a large alluvial fan of Kamo River
which originates in the highest mountain in Shikoku region.
Massive volume of spring waters totaling 90 thousand tons
daily gush out from countless spots in the city.
Called "Uchinuki" by local people, these water spouting
points can be found in various locations ranging from railroad
station to residential gardens. Typically the water is directly
drunk by local residents without any disinfection measures.
A large park space in the city is named "Aquapolis"
and each of 5 zones in the area offers natural springs of
various types. It should take at least a full day to fully
enjoy the features of fine springs in the city, and time spent
will be worth it.
