The location has a history spanning over 800 years as a place for lodging (since the twelfth century), and has onsen (baths) that are supplied by natural hot springs. The hot springs were discovered over 1,500 years ago, and have a high iron content that stain the baths at Tosen Goshobo a terra-cotta color.
