Fuchu City’s Kyodo-no-Mori Museum is set on a vast 140,000-square-meter plot and showcases the history, nature, and unique characteristics of Fuchu. Located within this site is the "Maimaizu Well," a reconstructed massive well.
This well was originally dug in the ancient Kuni town and is characterized by its spiral track leading to the water source. Its snail-like shape led to its naming; "Maimai" is an alternative name for snail in Japanese. The well has been reconstructed based on archaeological findings from the Heian period.
It's believed that the "Maimaizu Well" was developed in environments with low groundwater levels and can be found scattered across the Musashino Plateau and the Izu Islands. Some of these wells were still in use until the Showa 30s (1955-1964).
Fuchu City’s Kyodo-no-Mori Museum offers many other attractions. Its permanent exhibition hall displays a wealth of valuable materials. The museum's planetarium (requires a separate entrance fee) is also popular, providing an engaging educational experience for visitors.
