(Spring waters of Rokugo)

Town of hundred spring waters

Located in central part of Akita prefecture, Town of Rokugo is known for countless numbers of excellent water sources in the region. Its nickname, "Town of 100 water sources", is therefore self-explanatory.
The region is home of outstanding Sake brands which are brewed by richly using the local pure spring water. "Niteko" cider soft drink is another product benefited from the water of good quality in Niteko, which is known as "Imperial water" for it was served for Japanese Emperor in Meiji era. "Somen" noodle is another famous local product made by using the natural gift of these fine waters.
Each of 60+ spring spots is uniquely named, such as "Spring water of Odaidokoro", "Spring water of Zato", and "Spring water of wisteria". The town is highly attached to spring waters.
