Journeys in Japan - Season 15 - Eps 14: Ogaki: The City of Water
Ogaki in Gifu Prefecture is called "the city of water." Its abundant groundwater has fed countless spring water wells, and a river running through the city center makes for relaxing scenery.

George, a beach person who enjoys surfing, discovers the appeal of water in this landlocked city.
