Triple Water Wheel

An unusual serial water wheel situated along a canal reservoir supplied by the Chikugo River. Consisting of three waterwheels in line with each other, the system is still operation even today. The largest of the three is 4.8 meters tall. The waterwheels are made of quality pine, bamboo, evergreen oak, and cedar wood. Visitors can see the wheels in action during the rice planting periods in mid-June and early October. During the midterm drying period from late July to early August, the wheels are stopped. During the Obon holidays, the wheels are lit up at night, creating a magical scene for visitors to enjoy.
