    Niigata Murakami-shi Senami Onsen
    A hot spring footbath located in Senami Onsen, a hot spring district records state was opened when hot spring water began welling forth from a petroleum dig in 1904. According to legend, a fox spirit predicted the hot spring’s appearance by the cry of a fox in a yelping voice, konkon,the night before. A statue of Konkon-chan, the mascot of Senami Onsen which was inspired by this tale, stands in the center of the circular footbath. Situated along a walking path, the footbath is open 24 hours a day and may be freely used by anyone. Senami Onsen is also known as the “Netsu no Yu” (“High Temperature Bath”), and the temperature of its waters is quite high. This footbath is filled direct from an area spring and is thus recommended for those who like their footbath on the hot side.
