Mizuki means a fountain, and there are springs called Mizuki on Ichinomiya Monzen Shopping Street. The water is prized as delicious, mellow consecrated spring water and worshiped as water which gives perpetual youth and longevity. Inhabitants in Ichinomiya have appreciated the consecrated water daily and lived with it. Because they thought more people should drink the beautiful water, they have built 14 wooden or stone fountains since around 10 years ago and let people who pass by drink the water.
Besides, because most of the fountains are located along Nakamachi Street near the approach of Aso Shrine, a stroll can be also enjoyed. During the tour of fountains, tourists can take a break at a traditional store or a coffee shop as well.
