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: http://photoguide.jp/pix/thumbnails.php?album=135
