A cluster of famed natural springs and traditional stone basins where locals collect Nikko’s mineral-rich water. Photograph dripping wooden spouts, moss-covered stones, clear trickling streams and framed temple paths. Best at early morning or late afternoon for soft side light and minimal visitors; after rain enhances moss and reflections. Easy walk from central Nikko temple area, no entry fee; small parking nearby. Respect local customs — don’t drink from communal ladles without following signs
