Shirakawa Spring — Attraction in Minamiaso

It is what it is. Pretty much as the reviews say. You visit the spring and fill up bottles of water.

For me personally it was on my way anyway and the water bottles are a very cheap but quite nice personal gift. So yeah. I wouldn't make a special trip to visit though.

There's a couple other shops like a crystal shop that has some massive crystals the size of a person if your in to that but it's kinda random. And there's some honesty stalls with a few vegetables that look rather nice.

The water tastes like water. It's not strong flavoured it's very mild but theres nothing wrong with it.

If your gonna get a few bottles like I did then don't forget that...

Serene quiet place with natural drinkable spring water. I’m not sure why but there was absolutely no one there when I arrived (6 PM, May 12th) but it made the entire place feel mystical and magical 🥰 Entrance donation of 100 JPY suggested, very cheap and reasonable for the state of the place and the items provided(ladle, water filling station, etc.). You can fill your own water bottles and bring home, everything was closed when I got there so couldn’t buy bottles which was fine. I don’t drink enough water usually to know the difference in taste but I’ve heard it tastes divine! Highly suggest to stop by if you’re...

This is one of the 100 source for spring water in Japan. You can see the spring water actually come up from the bottom of the spring and flowing out to the river. Many people go through the pretty spots here. Of course you should drink from the spring. Water does taste amazing. Free Parking available in short distance from the spring on the main road. Recommend to bring your own bottles to fill up with water to take home free. Otherwise you will have to buy from the vendors inside bottles for about $1 to $3...
