    About

    The name of the area where Tai-no-Kama Swamp is located is called “Fukui”, but it used to be “Tai Village” until it was renamed in 1749.

    Tai-no-Kama is a very deep swamp. Some people even believe that it is bottomless. The legend says it is connected to the Iwa-no-Hana-no-Ike Lake, Shiokawa River in the Konami area, and even Anagatawa. For more about Anagatawa, refer to the information in the Quiz Commentary.

    地名を取った「田井の沼(かま)」は深い沼で、「底なし沼」の伝説があり、底は壺瓶山の下をくぐって北端の「岩の鼻の池」、小波の塩川、「アナガタワ」にも通じていると伝えられてきました。

     

    There was abundant water gushing from this swamp, reaching the Uda River at its end. However, in the 1950s, spring water was pumped out for the water supply, and the amount of water decreased gradually. This even affected the life cycle of water plants such as Hoteiaoi, known as the Common Water Hyacinth.

    沼一円は豊富な水があふれて宇田川に合流していましたが、昭和30年代に上水道の水源として湧水を汲み取りだしてからは、徐々に陸地化が進み、ホテイアオイなどの水生植物にも影響を与えていきました。

     

    It is a precious swamp to see the changes in the Yodoe Plain since ancient times.
