In 1914, hot spring with radium in it was ejected from 65m deep well here. But it was after the World War II when the hot springs were brought out into limelight. 

As Kominato Railroad Co., Ltd. put a lot of effort into its development, Ryokan inns started doing business around 1950. Then the area was called Yorokeikoku Onsenkyo hot spa and many tourists began visiting here.
