It is said that during Tensho era (1573-1591), a wounded monk fled to this place and healed his wounds in the cold spring that flows from here.
It is said that the lawyer saved people in the cold spring.
The villagers began calling the monk "Hosen's Monk," and it is said that this is how Housenbou Onsen got its name.
Hypotonic weak alkaline cold spring water has the effect of washing away dead skin cells.
It is known as a "Bijin-no-Yu" or "makeup bath" because it leaves the skin soft and smooth.
