Dogo Onsen No. 1 Distribution Station
Analysis UnverifiedDogo Onsen is an ancient spa celebrated since the Man'yo era, linked to the legend of a white heron healing its leg and to a visit by Prince Shotoku. Today water from several sources is blended at distribution stations and piped to the town's public baths and inns under a central management system. The No. 1 station delivers a 47.7°C alkaline simple spring in which sodium makes up over 90% of the cations, with bicarbonate and fluoride. Soft and gentle, it suits anyone who wants to soak slowly in the history of an old spa.
The bar length shows how abundant each component is compared to thresholds that make it "distinctive" (therapeutic spring standards, beauty spring criteria, etc.).
Mild antibacterial action keeps the skin clean. Trace transdermal absorption supports tooth and bone health.
A trace component with gentle antibacterial and anti-inflammatory action.
Scores are calculated from mineral analysis data based on the Mineral Spring Analysis Guidelines (Ministry of Environment, Japan). They are unrelated to facility atmosphere or service quality.
▸Note
The temperature, pH and component values shown here are based on the hot spring analysis (source). Actual values in the bath may differ depending on heating, dilution, recycling and filtration. Please check current usage status at the facility.
The alkaline pH 9.1 water can remove skin oils, so moisturize afterward. As a gentle simple spring, it suits longer soaks at a moderate temperature.
The alkaline pH 9.1 and 67.7 mg/kg of bicarbonate may help soften the skin's surface for a silky skin feel, and the gentle water is traditionally enjoyed for deep relaxation after travel.
Avoid bathing during acute illness or with serious heart or kidney conditions, and do not bathe right after drinking alcohol or eating.
