Sightseeing Spots: Tazawako Area
Insuishigen Monument
The monument was erected in Haruyama among the lakeside of Tazawako as a gift from Taiwan, when Tazawako and Cheng Ching Lake of Taiwan formed a sister-lake relationship in 1991. Insuishigen (roughly, "Think of the source when drinking the water")
indicates that sunlight, air and water are the three fundamentals of human
living, and that we should always remember, when using water, the importance
of these principles.
