Machigiri Waterwheel is a valuable active waterwheel quietly standing within the peaceful rural landscape of Karatsu City, conveying the wisdom of Japan's good old rich daily life to the modern era by milling local specialty rice using the power of pure water. The quiet rhythm of the waterwheel slowly turning and making wooden sounds along with the water flow deeply heals the visiting traveler's heart from the deep core, letting you feel a calm time completely cut off from modern busy digital society. It harmonizes perfectly with the surrounding beautiful mountain greenery and peaceful田園 (Den-en) scenery, making it a hideaway-like healing spot to touch Japan's unpretentious, genuine agricultural culture and great nature's blessings for a heart-warming alignment.
