This footbath was constructed when JR Ogoto Station was renamed as Ogoto-onsen Station on March 15, 2008. Tradition says that Ogoto-onsen was discovered by Denkyo Daishi Saicho, the founder of Enryaku-ji Temple on Mt. Hiei. The building is designed to recall a hexagonal hall located in Hayao Jizoson, where stone jizo statues (guardian deities of children) allegedly made by Saicho, are enshrined.

Terraced rice fields are spreading in such a place where the difference in elevation is 100 meters. Houses are scattered to watch over the rice terraces. At the bottom of the terraced rice field is the Tanada House. I believe that the time you spend at Tanada House will make you realize what a luxurious life is.
