The Water City | Gujo Hachiman 名水の町・郡上八幡
Gujo Hachiman, also known as the Water City! It's just about in the middle of Gifu Prefecture, and I highly, highly recommend visiting!! It's a mountain city with rivers running through the middle. There are koi fish everywhere, you can jump into the water, and the are tons of old-fashioned stores with awesome things to look at. I absolutely loved it!

The Water City - Gujo Hachiman Gifu Japan - Sony a6300 + Sigma 30mm 1.4
If you awaken from this illusion and you understand that black implies white, self implies other, life implies death (or shall I say death implies life?), you can feel yourself – not as a stranger in the world, not as something here on probation, not as something that has arrived here by fluke - but you can begin to feel your own existence as absolutely fundamental. I am not trying to sell you on this idea in the sense of converting you to it, I want you to play with it. I want you to think of its possibilities, I am not trying to prove it. I am just putting it forward as a possibility of life to think about. So then, let’s suppose that you were able every night to dream any dream you wanted to dream, and that you could for example have the power within one night to dream 75 years of time, or any length of time you wanted to have. And you would, naturally, as you began on this adventure of dreams, you would fulfill all your wishes. You would have every kind of pleasure you could conceive. And after several nights of 75 years of total pleasure each you would say “Well that was pretty great”. But now let’s have a surprise, let’s have a dream which isn’t under control, where something is gonna happen to me that I don’t know what it's gonna be. - Alan Watts

Satoyama, Japan's secret water garden
Please SUBSCRIBE and stay TUNED!
Satoyama in central Japan is one of the most peaceful place where the seasons' rhythms rule - where centuries of agriculture and fishing have re-shaped the land, yet where people and nature remain in harmony. Here - over a thousand years - towns and villages have developed a unique system to make springs and water part of their homes. From inside these homes, the streams pour into Japan's largest freshwater lake, Lake Biwa - an area 5 times the size of Paris - near the ancient capital of Kyoto. This is a habitat so precious the Japanese have a special word for it: Satoyama - villages where mountains give way to plains. They are exceptional environments essential to both the people who maintain them and to the wildlife that now share them.

Shionji Yama Kofun Restored
Kofun are old tomb mounds found throughout Japan. The monumentally large ones date from before 300 AD though about 550 AD. This video is about a kofun in Yao City, Osaka, which has been partially restored to its original appearance, and is part of a Google Earth presentation which can be accessed at

DaAiTV_DaAi Headlines_ 20101014 Back to the Satoyama
In today's special feature report on water management in Japan, we return to the location of the famous NHK documentary Satoyama about the traditional water-supply system in the rural area of land between the mountain and the plain - which is known as Satoyama. In one small village near Lake Biwa, the 750 residents of 170 households live in a close relationship with nature, drawing on the underground water supply from the mountains, and making sure the water that leaves their homes is clean enough to stream into the lake without polluting it. We went to central Japan to find out how it is done.
( Baikamo underwater flowers )
Here in central Japan, the delicate and beautiful baikamo flowers bloom underwater all year round.
( Secret water garden )
This small community is in the Shin-Asahi district of Takashima, in Shiga Prefecture, not far from Kyoto. The small village of just 170 households shot to fame in 2004 when it became the subject of an NHK documentary called Satoyama: Japan's Secret Watergarden.
Satoyama is a Japanese word that describes the area of land between the mountains and the plains. The homes in Takashima draw their water from the underground supply that comes from the mountain range on its way down to Lake Biwa.
Local villager, Miyake Yoshiko: Where does this water come from. It comes from 23m underground.
Local villager, Fukuta Chiyoko : I was born here, 60 years ago. I drank this water growing up. And my mother and father did too. We've lived like this for many generations - 200 years. There's a 200-year history.
It tastes good!
While washing your cup, you can also drink the water.
( Clean water in, clean water out )
In this traditional water-supply system, known as kabata, crystal clear groundwater is drawn up into the first pool, which is used for drinking, cooking and washing rice. The outer pool is used for cleaning the dishes and rearing carp. The fish make sure the water is clean before it is released.
Local villager, Fukuta Chiyoko: We put soup or leftover food in here, which the fish eat up, otherwise if it went into the pipes of the treatment plant it wouldn't be good. The water in here is very clean, and the water that flows outside is clean too, so when it drains into the river, it won't be polluted.
( Kabata keeps Lake Biwa clean )
Ms. Fukua has been using the traditional kabata system for 60 years. The villagers keep a watchful eye on the quality of water leaving their homes, making sure it is not contaminated. Two to three households share a channel, so if dirty water is tipped into the drain, everyone knows about it. Their caution is because the water streams into Japan's largest inland body of water - Lake Biwa - which supplies over 10 million people in Kyoto, Osaka and Kobe.
Local villager, Fukuta Chiyoko: We collect used cooking oil and recycle it into this soap which we reuse in the kitchen, so it's called recycled soap. This doesn't harm Lake Biwa so much.
( Detergent caused algal bloom )
It looks clean today but Lake Bixwa used to have an algae problem.
Lake Biwa Renewal Department, Miwa Nobuhiko: On the surface of Lake Biwa it looks like 2-3 kilometers of red algal bloom was caused mainly by household wastewater directly discharged into the lake. There was also industrial and agricultural wastewater.
Halting the algal bloom was not easy. The first step was to stop phosphorus and nitrogen entering the water.
Lake Biwa Renewal Department, Miwa Nobuhiko: To stop the algal bloom getting worse, there was a campaign to use soap instead of detergent. Because of the housewives' campaign, they put pressure on the Shiga prefectural government to enact an ordinance.
( Grassroots pressure forces new laws )
The local movement grew into a national phenomena, as other prefectures follow suit in passing new wastewater controls. But as the Lake Biwa algal bloom situation improved, new problems of invading species of fish, and overgrowing waterweed appeared.
Restoring the damaged ecosystem may take decades, but the Japanese people have taken the lessons of Lake Biwa to heart.
( Lanfill groundwater protection )
In the final installment of our Japan series, we go back to Osaka to investigate how the city protects its groundwater from being polluted by landfills. Wake sure you tune in for a tour around possibly the most colorful garbage incinerator in the world.
