Azumino’s “100 Selected Springs” | Spots to Enjoy Pure Water and Nature

Azumino no Sato: A Place to Enjoy the Pure Water of the "100 Best Waters of Japan" and the Natural Surroundings

Azumino no Sato is a highly recommended spot where you can experience the area’s pristine water and abundant nature up close. Here, you can enjoy the beautiful flowing water that is characteristic of Azumino—selected as one of Japan’s “100 Best Waters”—and take a stroll in a quiet, refreshing atmosphere. It’s a place where you can appreciate the natural charm unique to Azumino while admiring the crystal-clear water and the surrounding greenery.

Key points for photography

The key to taking great photos here is to capture not only the stone slab marking one of Japan’s “100 Famous Waters,” but also the clarity of the flowing water and the surrounding greenery. By paying attention to the way light reflects off the water’s surface and the flow of the water itself, you can create photos that capture the refreshing atmosphere unique to Azumino. Shooting the flowing water from a slightly lower angle or incorporating the greenery in the background will help convey an even more natural, lush atmosphere.
