This hot spring is old enough to be mentioned in the ancient Manyoshu collection of poems. Its famous stone steps were first built sometime during the late 15th to late 16th century. The street lined with souvenir shops and inns has a nostalgic atmosphere. Onsen (Hot Spring) manju, steamed buns filled with sweet bean paste, originated here.
