The Mikawa Springs are scattered throughout Mikawa, located by the estuary of the Tedori River at the lower part of the Tedori River Alluvial Fan. They release roughly 57.6 tons of water per day, and have not only become an important aspect of the lives of the local people, but are also designated as one of the 100 best waters of the Heisei Era (1989 to 2019) in Japan. Apart from the Odaiba no Mizu Spring, there are also several other springs including Ohama no Mizu Spring, and Yasumaru Meisui Spring.

With over 800 years of history, the Kinkengu Shrine is one of the "Seven Hakusan Shrines" and "Four Hakusan Hongu Shrines". Due to its age many unique legends and stories of famous historical people surround the shrine. Every year the 'Hourai Festival' is held in October, based around this shrine.

Devoted to the sacred Mt. Hakusan, the Shirayama Hime Shrine is the main shrine of all the Hakusan Shrines located across Japan (roughly 3000 shrines), and as the main shrine of the Kaga region it has existed in the area for over 2100 years. Every day a prayer is given to thank Mt. Hakusan for the blessings it brings in the form of water. The shrine’s location at the top of the Tedori River Alluvial Fan, and its appreciation for Mt. Hakusan are all connected to sentiments about water.
