Nagawacho is taking on government crowdfunding! 🔥

Nagawacho is known as the largest obsidian source area on Honshu and still preserves the remains of Jomon-period obsidian mines.
This project supports town junior high and high school students who will serve as Nagawacho Youth Obsidian Ambassadors. They will visit Setford in the UK, work alongside a youth group learning history and culture at a local museum, and promote Nagawacho’s historical assets: obsidian and Jomon culture.

Please support the children who will lead the next generation!

NHK’s documentary "72 Hours" featured the Wada Area’s Kokuyo no Mizu Hiroba✨ What is Kokuyo no Mizu Hiroba…? The mountain range around Wada Pass underwent repeated volcanic activity between 800,000 and 1.4 million years ago. Highly fluid lava layered with andesite and rhyolite formed obsidian, it is said. Rain that falls on the surrounding forest is filtered through this obsidian bedrock and becomes spring water. This spring water, named "Kokuyo no Mizu," is drawn to the plaza. Because it is ultra-soft water with high purity, it is also characterized by being slow to spoil.
