Nakasuji Well was used as a valuable water source for Taketomi Island.
The drinking water of Taketomi Island used the water of Nakasuji Well until the seabed water was drawn from Ishigaki Island in 1976. The reason why Nakasuji Well was discovered remains as an island legend, and a long time ago, a dog owned by the god Arashibana Kasanari of Nakasuji Village had a wet tail even though it was in a drought. It is said that it was discovered by that. Although the place was drought, it was overgrown with greenery, so it is said that a well was found when digging the ground. In fact, this well water became valuable water that was used not only for drinking water for the islanders, but also for producing hot water and young water on New Year's Day. |
