There is a natural spring located at the top of Mt. Kinkō-ji. The reason for this is unknown, but natural springs can be found at the top of other mountains in the Oki Islands, such as Mt. Akahage on Chiburijima Island and Onimai on Nishinoshima Island. These springs supply the cows and horses grazing on the mountains with plentiful drinking water.
