Free Tamadono Fountain Benefits + Location

One exclusive benefit of purchasing the JR Alpine-Takayama-Matsumoto Area Pass during the summer season is the Free Tamadono Fountain. Available from July 19 to August 31, 2024, this offer gives travelers a unique opportunity to enjoy fresh, mineral-rich spring water from the Tateyama Tamadono Fountain, one of Japan’s most famous and exquisite waters.

To redeem this offer, you need to visit the Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route and present your JR Pass at Murodō Station on the second floor. The operating hours for redemption are between 7:00 am and 7:30 pm, so you have ample time to claim your free water while taking in the breathtaking views of Japan’s majestic mountains.

This spring water, which is collected from Mount Oyama, is famous for its purity and taste. It takes 200-300 years for the snow on Tateyama to filter through the mountains and emerge as this special spring water. Being the highest-altitude water commercially available in Japan (at an elevation of 2,450 meters), the Tateyama Tamadono Spring Water is rich in minerals and is renowned for its refreshing qualities.
