Insider tip — Kihada Bijin Midori no Yu, the wood-skin beauty green spring, serves Ōkawa City — Japan undisputed furniture manufacturing capital producing 40 percent of the country wooden furniture from workshops lining the Chikugo River where fine lumber was floated downstream from the Kyushu mountains. The spring name plays on the silky skin-smoothing effect of the spring water, compared to the lustrous finish of the fine-grain wood that fills the surrounding workshops.
