    A hot spring district which generates an abundant 1,000 liters of piping hot water every minute. According to legend, the area's hot springs were discovered in 713 after a wounded white heron landed in a reed bed and was healed by the waters welling forth underneath. Accordingly, the district was once called White Heron Hot Spring in ancient times. The area has sulfate springs; designated a National Hot Spring Health Resorts and both in name and reality the area is a famous hot spring destination. There are 11 hot spring hotels and bathhouses in the area, including public bathhouses, all of whose tubs are constantly replenished kakenagashi style from a source spring; the waters here are said to be effective for general indication and also allegedly highly effective in treating such ailments as cuts, burns, chronic skin diseases, hardening of the arteries, and eye diseases. The area's two public bathhouses-the Shomen no Yu and the Ta no Yu-replenish the waters in their baths constantly kakenagashi style as well using the natural flow of a source spring, and the rate at which old water is replaced with new is one of the highest in the country; the waters of these bathhouses are extremely pure and natural, and neither facility makes use of any additional waters, heating, or recirculation.

Yamagata Areas

around-area-map

Although often overlooked, Yamagata prefecture by no means lacks appeal: the Yamadera temple trail through the mountains, deliciously tender Yonezawa wagyu, and over 100 steaming hot springs, most notably Zao Onsen, await visitors. When winter comes, the snowcapped peaks become dotted with skiers by day and onsen-goers by night, while summer brings the celebration of juicy Yamagata cherries.
