Kitababa Yanagi Well
The famous spring that bubbles up at the site of Matsumoto Castle's moat, marked by a large willow tree
After the moat surrounding Matsumoto Castle was filled in, a spring began to flow steadily from this spot. To ensure its blessings would never cease, local residents joined forces to maintain it, creating the "Kitababa Willow Well." True to its name, the large willow tree standing beside it serves as a landmark, adding color to the charming scenery of the castle town. The sight
of pure water flowing ceaselessly evokes a sense of life's vitality.Preserved through the dedication and affection of the local community, this well stands as a living testament to Matsumoto's deep connection with water.
