Gujō-Hachiman -- Sogi Sui

Posted by Hoshisato (Ealing, United Kingdom) on 22 October 2009 in Lifestyle & Culture and Portfolio.

Sogi Sui water spring is the site where fifteenth century poet Sogi and local feudal lord To Tsuneyori exchanged farewell poems when the poet returned to Kyoto after visiting Gujō-Hachiman.

The water is very high up on the list of Japan's 100 remarkable waters as complied by the Japanese ministry of environment.
