Suibun Shrine
Fukui's version of "Monet's Pond," where emerald green spring water bubbles up steadily
According to legend, when a nun bathed in the water due to the extreme heat, the spring dried up. Following an oracle stating "If you wrestle, water will flow," sumo matches were held, and water gushed forth. To this day, an annual sumo tournament is held on June 24th. The spring water has been selected as one of Fukui's "Finest Springs," and the beautiful pond, reminiscent of Monet's Pond, is also a must-see.
