History of Tsukioka Onsen
Tsukioka was once an uninhabited hill in the middle of the woods. In 1917, in the midst of the oil rush excitement in Niigata prefecture, hot spring water suddenly gushed from an excavating well. People said "Oil isn't found under hot water," and the oil company abandonded the well. Shuzaburo Honma noticed this hot water, established a common bath and opened a therapeutic bath inn next to it. Thus began Tsukioka Onsen. Since then, approximately 100 years of history has passed, and Tsukioka has become famous as a hot spring resort representing Niigata prefecture.

Onsen before it became a hot spring site. One fall evening, a heron (Sagi) was injured and couldn't fly. A farmer approached the heron, but the heron noticed the farmer, and escaped into reeds, dragging one foot.
