Onyang Hot Springs is the oldest hot spring in Korea, discovered about 1,300
years old. It has been operating as a hot spring for about 600 years as well.
Especially in the Joseon Period, it is recorded that King Sejong (reign
1418~1450) and many other kings came here to rest or treat their illnesses.
Onyang Hot Springs, its water temperature at around 57?, is considered hot
even among hot springs. It has a high concentration of radium and its alkaline
water is both high in quality and quantity. It is known to be effective in
treating neuralgia, arthritis, skin problems, liver disease, high blood
pressure, and various geriatric diseases. The combination of the quality of
water and famous accommodations nearby have made this hot spring a hot item for
many tourists. Because there are 120 hotels and motels in this area, the whole
city is sometimes known as a hot spring city. They also have swimming pools
using the hot spring water, and they are very popular. Every year over five
million tourists visit this place.
