The source of the Yumoto onsens. Many wooden huts cover the biggest springs, and therefrom the hot water is piped to the resourt's hotels and spas.
History of Yumoto Hot Spa goes back to 1200 years ago. Priest Shoto found the hot spring in 788, and named it Yakushiyu (Hot spring of Yakushi). That was the beginning of Yumoto Hot Spa. Also, he named the mountain on the back as Yusengatake (Mountain of hot spring), and enshrined Yakushi Rurikou Nyorai on the top of the mountain. Moreover, Saint Kobo visited there in 820, and found Kanjizaiyu (Hot spring of Kanjizai), and enshrined Kanzeon Bosatsu.
As noted above, there have been 9 hot springs including Yakushiyu, Kanjizaiyu and Kawarayu. Those hot springs have been managed as public bath. Unfortunately, those public bathes are no longer existing, but hotels and inns pull the hot spring into their own buildings.
The nature of the hot spring is a hydrogen sulfide. The source of the spring is located in Yunodaira Marshland. You can see that the hot spring is coming out to the ground. That hot spring has an effect on neuralgia and muscular pain, cold nature and diabetes.
