This presentation reports a fundamental study on an incident neutron direction estimation method using a water Cherenkov detector. Response distributions for different neutron incident directions were evaluated using the Monte Carlo simulation code PHITS, and the feasibility of direction estimation based on these response distributions was investigated. Experimental results obtained using a prototype detector and a neutron source are also presented.
