Omachi City is blessed with beautiful rivers, and its tap water comes from four water systems: the Yazawa, Iyari-ri, Shirasawa, and Kamishirasawa water systems.
For example, in the Omachi shopping district, the water used by the stores on the east side and the west side is different.
On the east side, the water is called "Onna-no-Shimizu," which comes from a spring in Iyari-ri, a 900-meter-high mountain, and on the west side, "Otoko-no-Shimizu," which comes from a spring in Kamishirasawa (upstream of the river at the entrance of Kurobe Dam) in the Alps at an elevation of nearly 3,000 meters, and flows to each tap.
