This is Daiji Shimizu, which I visited before arriving at my hotel in Morioka City. It was just after 5pm, but it was already dark. This is one of the waterholes that has been representative of the castle town since the feudal period, and the four-tiered tank is divided into drinking water, water for rice polishing, water for washing, and water for foot washing, starting from the top tank, and the water is carefully used. You can see that it was used as a place for relaxation. In the Edo period, it was a spring-fed pond, but in the early Meiji period it was changed to draw water from the spring in the grounds of Daiji-ji Temple. Furthermore, since the spring water dried up in 1977, it seems to have been used as a community water source that is pumped up from a well. On June 5, 2008, the Ministry of the Environment selected 100 springs, rivers, irrigation waters, and groundwaters from all over the country as one of the ``100 Famous Waters of the Heisei Era.'' It is also used as the brewing water for the nearby sake brewery "Asakai." It was definitely delicious water.

The tiered atmosphere of the old-fashioned vegetable and rice washing area, laundry, etc. also reveals the heart.

It is a water source that supports the lives of the people of Morioka. Well thought out. It's worth a visit since it's a short walk from the townhouse museum.

It is said that it is still in use today, so it is a place that not only has a retro feel but also a sense of life. You can clearly see how water is used carefully in the 4-stage tank. It's a place I want to cherish.
