The History of Hijiori Onsen

Hijiori Onsen boasts a history of approximately 1,200 years.
It is said that the name comes from the fact that an old monk who fell off a cliff soaked in the hot springs and his wounds were healed.
During Edo Period, the hotel was apparently extremely popular with visitors who came to visit the Dewa Sanzan mountains for lodging and hot spring treatments.
Even after that, it has continued to hold a special appeal in Yamagata as a hot spring located in the mountains.
