The Alkaline Awakening Spring

The Izumi Gōi Gensen is the vital source supporting Onneyu Onsen, a renowned hot spring in Hokkaido, whose name translates to "large hot water" in the Ainu language. Since its establishment in 1899, this region has been cherished as a "skin-beautifying spring." The thick, highly alkaline water from this source gently envelops the skin, leaving it remarkably smooth and silky after bathing, as if adorned with a delicate veil. It is an ideal spring for those wishing to experience nature's blessings and enhance their skin's condition.
