The district has two communal springs. The ''agari nu kaa'' 東ヌカー, at the eastern end of Yachimun-dôri, was the earlier well to be dug; it's said to be over 300 years old. Up until WWII, it was a vital source of drinking water for the community. Since the spread of modern plumbing, the spring is less-used for that purpose but remains a site of worship and sacred reverence.
