Photo Exhibition 'Each Life, Each Mountain' for Water Day Held at Azabudai Hills from July 30 to August 2

Suntory Beverage & Food Co., Ltd. will host the 'Photo Exhibition: Each Life, Each Mountain' for Water Day from Thursday, July 30 to Sunday, August 2, 2026, at the Hills Arena and Hills Cafe in Azabudai Hills.

'Suntory Tennensui' (Suntory Natural Water) is sourced from four carefully selected mountain regions: the Northern Alps, Southern Alps, Okudaisen, and Aso. The natural water is formed as rain and snow fall on these mountains and slowly percolate through geological layers over more than 20 years, becoming groundwater that is then delivered to consumers.

This event features four teams of hosts from J-WAVE's radio program 'GURU GURU!'—Sho Kaga (Kagaya), Ryoya Iihara and Moyoko Nakajima (Dow 90000), Kemuri Matsui (Reiwa Roman) with Mihoka Fukudome, and Takafumi Sasaki and Kazuki Machida (Evers)—who have each visited one of the 'water mountains' of Suntory Natural Water. They will present their experiences through a photo exhibition, sharing the natural beauty, landscapes, and human encounters they discovered. The event also includes a tasting experience where visitors can compare the natural waters from the four different sources, immersive brand displays, and a collaborative coloring workshop with Herallbonny for families.

Background of the Event

The event aims to help the public understand how the natural water they consume daily is nurtured in nature and delivered over time. By sharing the authentic perspectives of the four hosts who visited the actual 'water mountains,' the exhibition seeks to bring the real beauty and grandeur of these natural water sources closer to urban audiences, especially in connection with August 1's 'Water Day.'

Exhibition and Experience Details

<Four 'Water Mountains' Photo Exhibition>

At Hills Cafe, photos taken during the hosts’ visits to the four 'water mountains'—Northern Alps, Southern Alps, Okudaisen, and Aso—will be displayed. The selected works are curated from over 10,000 photographs taken by photographers Chiyoue Sugita, Kyoko Aida, and Junya Taguchi, capturing majestic natural scenery, mountain experiences, and on-site discoveries. Audio commentary by each host will allow visitors to deeply engage with the emotions and experiences behind the photos. This exhibition offers urban dwellers a chance to feel the charm of the natural water sources without leaving the city.

<Tasting Experience from Four Sources>

At Hills Arena, visitors can sample and compare the natural waters from the four different Suntory Tennensui sources. Despite being the same brand, each source offers a unique character and taste, helping visitors deepen their understanding of the 'water mountains' where the water is nurtured.

<'Mizuiro Truck' Display>

The iconic 'Mizuiro Truck' (Blue Water Truck) from Suntory Tennensui TV commercials will be on display as a photo spot. Additionally, a limited run of 100 mini 'Mizuiro Truck' models—normally available only at Suntory’s production plants—will be sold at the event for 1,500 yen (tax included).

<Free Sampling of Suntory Tennensui from Four Sources>

Visitors who enjoy the photo exhibition and tasting experience can choose one bottle of Suntory Tennensui from any of the four sources to take home. Quantities are limited.

<Suntory Tennensui × Herallbonny 'Coloring Workshop'>

A family-friendly coloring workshop will be held on August 1 and 2. Inspired by the 'water mountains' of Suntory Tennensui, the line drawings are based on artwork created by Herallbonny’s contracted artist, Satoru Kobayashi. Participants can enjoy coloring while drinking Suntory Tennensui, expressing their creativity to produce unique artworks. This experience encourages children to reflect on the rich natural environment where natural water is born. Completed works can be taken home as postcards (free participation, 300 total across two days, first-come, first-served).

Additionally, the collaborative 'Suntory Tennensui Herallbonny Art Label' (3 types) has been available nationwide in limited quantities since July 14.

Host Comments

Sho Kaga (Kagaya)

The Northern Alps were absolutely amazing! The nature behind Suntory Tennensui exceeded my expectations. Experiencing real nature made me want to be more conscious of actions like separating plastic bottle labels in daily life!

Mihoka Fukudome

It was my first time in Nagano Prefecture. The scenery was breathtaking, and hiking such rugged mountain trails was refreshing. Being surrounded by rivers, mountains, and forests really rejuvenated me!

Ryoya Iihara (Dow 90000)

As someone raised in the mountains, I didn’t encounter any dangerous animals, and the water source was clean—this was a gentle mountain experience that let me fully appreciate the kind side of the mountains.

Moyoko Nakajima (Dow 90000)
