Senbun Sanjo

Senbun Sanjo [千者熱些; せんぶんさんじょ] is a hot spring or reijo located in the foothills of Mount Teppen to the far east of Aoma, Aoma Prefecture. It is one of the oldest continuously-functioning hot spring resorts in the prefecture, with records suggesting that it has existed for over 500 years. The name of the resort literally means 'one-thousand-person hot spring', and can be interpreted in two ways: that a thousand people have visited it over its long existence, or that it is big enough to hold one thousand people (its actual capacity is around 300).
