Radon Spring from Valley Granite

About 30 minutes by car inland from Kansai International Airport, Matsuba Onsen in Kotsumi, Kaizuka, lies along the Kogi River valley and draws radon-bearing water from the granite beneath the grounds. The source is a cool 26.8°C and is pumped at 83.3 liters per minute. Sodium, chloride and bicarbonate lead its chemistry, yet total dissolved solids are a modest 0.729 g/kg, and its 236.8 Bq/kg of radon classifies it as a simple weak radioactive spring, known locally for warming the body and keeping it warm.

Paradise Bath of the Koya Pilgrims

Said to have flowed since the Nanboku-cho period, this Amami spring is remembered in the tale of a "paradise bath" that soothed pilgrims bound for Mount Koya.

It suits travelers who trace the old Koya Kaido road and want a quiet soak by a clear stream.

Why onsen are considered good for Hypertension

The benefits of an onsen vary by spring type. Certain spring types are traditionally considered good for Hypertension, and the corresponding indications are listed in the legally required onsen analysis sheets. my Onsen Techo ranks the onsen best suited to your symptom and area based on analysis-sheet data, which is mandated for display under Article 18 of Japan's Hot Spring Act. Each onsen page shows mineral visualisations, bathing tips and booking options.
