Sabako-yu
"A hot spring bathhouse long cherished as Japan's oldest wood construction communal bathhouse. Due to the deterioration of the earlier structure, it was reconstructed in its original form in 1993. When the 12th-century poet Saigyo Hoshi visited this hot spring, he wrote the poem, ""I kept looking beyond the mountains from Sabako while thinking of people I had met."" This is said to be the reason that the name ""Sabako-yu"" has stuck. Even now, it is considered the symbol of the Iizaka Hot Spring Area, and it receives many visitors, both from the surrounding area and from other parts of Japan. The water is from alkaline simple springs."
