Furofushi Onsen started its business in the 1970s. It had only a small amount of hot water at first, but after it was dug into up to 200 meters in depth, a larger amount of hot water was discovered and it became an onsen. The name of Furofushi, which means eternal youth and immortality in Japanese, was derived from the legend that "You will never get old or weak if you take a bath here." In addition, Heneshizaki, a headland where the hot spring is placed, was called Ougonzaki as the landscape is tinted with gold by the sunset.

Landscape from the hot spring 

The open-air bath is open until sunset so that you can enjoy the one and only golden landscape. You will also feel the waves crushing the seawall and sea breeze as the bath is so close to the sea.  Other than the open-air bath which is overhanging from the hotel, there are two baths and from all of the baths you can see the great wide ocean of the Japan Sea.
