The intake of the Oze Iwakura Yusui is set up in the White World Oze Iwakura to the left of the Junisama Shrine that stands in front of you when you head from the first parking lot to the slope. The White World Oze Iwakura can be accessed by taking Route 120, passing the Oze Ohashi bridge at the traffic light in Kamada, and driving about 6.5 km on Route 401. The Oze Iwakura Yusui is considered to be the water of Junisama, a deity of the mountain, and has been used as drinking water and water for domestic use by local people.
History
This area is called Tsuchiide, which also appears in a legend: In ancient times when the Heike was enjoying its golden days, Prince Takakura Mochihito ordered the Minamoto clan headquartered in the eastern provinces to conquer the Taira clan as they were acting too tyrannical. However, history says that the prince was killed in the battle, while another story says that the prince fled to the Kanto region via Mt. Akagi and a valley of the Katashina River and reached Arai in Tsuchiide. It is said that the prince died here as he was bitten by a pit viper. There is a Mumyo Hoto pagoda built nearby to commemorate this historic event.
