The Jozankei Hot Spring town, which is situated in a ravine upstream from the Toyohira River, was discovered by a monk by the name of Jozan Mizumi, and was named after him for his efforts to develop it as a therapeutic spa in 1866. A bronze statue of him sits in the Jozankei Gensen Park (07:00-21:00) which was built to commemorate the 200th anniversary of Jozan’s birth.
