Kinryo Spring
This is one of the best-quality natural springs in Tokushima. During the Edo period (1603–1868), the ruling Hachisuka family considered it an important source of drinking water for the citizenry, and appointed an officer to oversee it. Nobles and commoners alike valued the water for its pure quality and taste.
A small spring house provides access to this landmark of the Teramachi district. Residents of Tokushima can use the well freely, and they often still come to fill up empty bottles. Water from Kinryo Spring is also used in the production of local sweets and alcohol.
