The Pure Spring Water of Yakusō Shrine
The well named "Sunrise Spring: Medicine Ancestor Water"—a name that seems to promise the blessings of the god of medicine.Located within the grounds of Yakusō Shrine, on the premises of the Matsumoto Pharmaceutical Association Hall in Nagano Prefecture, clear water springs forth. This shrine
enshrines the deity considered the progenitor of medicine, believed to cure illness and relieve people's suffering. Water drawn from this well, watched over by that deity, seems to gently permeate both body and soul. Pray for health, take a sip of this renowned water, and perhaps the fatigue of your journey will be soothed.
