Bandaiatami Onsen

A hot spring district consisting of around 27 hot spring hotels standing side by side in Koriyama. Developed as a hot spring resort some 800 years ago during the Kamakura period, the area's name is derived from a place in Izunokuni Province, what is now Shizuoka Prefecture, the area where the then-ruling lord of the Ito clan was born and raised. Records state that during the Nanboku-cho period, a princess of the Imperial Court suffered from an incurable disease but was healed by the waters of this area after receiving an oracle telling her to head northeast from the capital and bathe in the miraculous spring found at the side of the 500th river she encountered. The area's alkaline simple springs have a pH of 9.1 and their waters are characterized by their smooth, slippery feel. Because these colorless, odorless waters cured the princess, they are also said to grant beauty to women. The Hagi Hime Festival is held here on August 9 and 10 in celebration of the legend of the princess.
