About this place

Myoonzawa is a stream flowing through Niiza, Saitama Prefecture. It is a tributary of the Kurome River in the Arakawa River system. In June 2008, it was selected by the Ministry of the Environment as one of the Heisei Era's 100 Exquisite and Well-Conserved Waters of Japan. On the right bank of the Kurome River near Ichibazaka Bridge in Sakae, Niiza, Saitama Prefecture, there is the Myoonzawa Special Green Space Conservation Area, and Myoonzawa is the main spring water, called Osawa and Kozawa, that wells up from its steep cliff line. The water volume is abundant, with the amount welling up from the spring points reaching 1 ton per minute.
