The name of the village is derived from the fact that it is situated near a large volcanic hot spring, which has been used for healing therapeutic bathing for many centuries. During the 18th century, the Bath Hotel, an elegant hotel with a stone two-story bathhouse, was built near the hot spring source. The main building of the hotel has been recently restored, and is currently being used as government offices.
