Harie Shozu-no-sato - Shiga - 針江生水の郷 - 4K Ultra HD
Not too far from the beautiful torii of Shirahige Shrine, you will find the small village of Harie and its unique feature: free water! Thanks to its several rather easily accessible water springs Harie, also know in Japanese as “Shozu-No-Sato” or The Village of Pure Water” offers access to free and delicious water directly from the homes on pretty much every street of Harie.
People living in Harie are very proud of their spring water. They use it daily to not only drink but also wash their vegetables and even keep Koi Carp as personal pets. Limiting Harie to its gorgeous spring water will not be fair, as Harie is a magnificent little village frozen in time ideal to do away with your stress and worries.

Harie kabata water springs in Shin-Asahi, Takashima, Shiga 針江生水の郷（川端）
Shin-Asahi in Takashima, Shiga Prefecture, Japan has a neighborhood called Harie where homes draw crystal-clear water from an ever-flowing spring directly from the ground into kitchen wells called kabata. A local non-profit group called Harie Shozu-no-Sato Committee conducts tours of the area offering a look at the wonderful kabata in private homes. Tours cost 1,000 yen per person for 90 min. You must join a guided tour to view the kabata in private homes. Highly recommended. Their Web site: hariekabata.com and phone 090-3168-8400. Photos:
Harie Kabata Spring Water System, Japan
Nước kênh, nước mương ở Nhật uống được là có thật nha mọi người.
Kabata-hệ thống lọc nước siêu tự nhiên ở ngôi làng Harie, tỉnh Shiga. Nước ngầm từ trên núi đổ xuống và được đưa đến từng hộ dân qua hệ thống kênh chảy khắp ngôi làng. Nước được sử dụng cho toàn bộ sinh hoạt của người dân bao gồm ăn uống, tắm giặt,...và nước được vệ sinh liên tục bởi những chú cá Koi chuyên nghiệp. Ngoài ra, dòng nước còn như một cái tủ lạnh ngoài trời để bảo quản thực phẩm ( nhiệt độ nước luôn ở 13-15 độ). Quanh năm không một xu tiền nước.
The village of Harie has a unique relationship with water. Fresh spring-water flows through the town in specially designed canals which branch off to feed outhouses, or Kabata.
Residents use the water collected in their Kabatas for cleaning, washing and drinking. They even use the Kabata's cold water to keep vegetables and other foods fresh.
I am living around here, if you want to go there I am alway willing to help you. Contact me by email: Shinjikagawa2000@gmail.com

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.

近江八幡の散策 : Walking Around Omihachiman（Shiga, Japan）
滋賀県、近江八幡市を散策いたしました。八幡堀だけでなく、西洋建築や観光地から少し外れた住宅街もとても趣があり楽しめました。
Ōmihachiman means Hachiman in Ōmi. When Hachiman Town (the forerunner of this city) became a city, there was the existing city of Yahata in Fukuoka Prefecture. In Japanese, Hachiman and Yahata are written with the same kanji, so Ōmi was added to avoid confusion. Hachiman is the Shinto god of war. His symbol is the dove.
