Daisetsu Asahidake Gensui Park

Refresh Your Soul with 4,600 Liters of Crystal-Clear Spring Water Every Minute

At the foot of the Daisetsuzan Mountains, this serene destination — recognized as one of Japan’s 100 Remarkable Waters — invites you to touch and taste the pure meltwater from Hokkaido’s highest peaks.


Higashikawa is unique as the only town in Hokkaido without a public water supply. Instead, its residents rely on meltwater from the mountains, naturally filtered deep underground over many years to emerge as Daisetsu Asahidake Gensui. Bubbling up to the surface at a consistent 6–7°C (43–45°F), the spring is surrounded by a lush primeval forest, filling the air with the refreshing scent of the woods.


Follow the wooden boardwalk to the source, where the gentle murmur of streams through moss-covered rocks creates a soothing melody. At the water collection area, you are free to gather this mineral-rich water. The refreshingly cold water tingles on your skin, and a sip reveals a pure, mellow sweetness — a direct taste of nature’s raw energy.
