Are there accent rules in Japanese? (lemmy.ml)

I'm currently learning with Duolingo and even though I can read, I've realized I never know which syllable should be accented.

A simple example: みず.

How can I tell if the accent goes on "mi" or "zu"? Is it like English? Like you need to hear the word to know where the accent goes? Or are there rules that let you know just by reading it?
