Source of the Himekawa river

The Himekawa that flows through Hakuba, Otari and Itoigawa municipalities into the Sea of Japan rises in Sanozaka (佐野坂). It is a low dividing ridge between Azumino valley and Hakuba valley and also the border between Oomachi and Hakuba municipalities.

 

The source of the Himekawa is a natural spring located on the slope of Sanozaka in Hakuba. Its thickly forested surroundings are protected as a local nature park.

It was unexpectedly impressive despite the location close to the national route 148.
