In the spring of 1865, in the northern hills of Matsukura, the founder of Oyado Ikegami was born a healthy young boy. His mother, however, had a hard time recovering after the childbirth, and soon grew bed-ridden.
Time passed, and one August day three years later, a Buddhist god carrying a jar full of medicine, who was capable of healing all ailments, appeared in the mother's dreams and guided her to the hot springs. He then revealed to her its healing powers and told her to use the hot springs as medicine. The couple, believing the prophecy, found and cultivated the hot springs in the Northern Mountains, and started the mother's treatment.
Word of this miracle made its way across Japan, and soon people began coming from far and wide to stay at the hot springs and cure their ailments.
The effects of the hot springs are said to aid a host of ailments; including helping bring about pregnancy and after child-birth healing, rheumatic and nerve pain, paralysis, life-style diseases such as back-pain, stomach pains, beriberi, and recovering after an illness. People would come endlessly to use the hot springs for ailments, so it eventually developed into a Ryokan, which brings us to Oyado Ikegami today.
