Kindaichi Onsen has a history of more than 300 years and was once a secret hot spring of the Nanbu domain. ``Ryokufuso'' is a ryokan located in the hot spring town and is said to be the home of ``Zashikiwarashi'', one of the oldest ryokan in Kindaichi Onsen. From the wide entrance, cross the noisy hallway and head to the back to find the back parlor. There is a legend that if you stay in this zashiki you will meet the zashiki warashi and those who see it will be promoted in life. Zashikiwarashi is not a ghost, but a divine spirit of a boy with a cute bobbed hair, and in this region it is considered an important guardian deity of the house. Although it is a legend, there are still many people who claim to have seen the Zashiki Warashi.
