BATHING TIPS
AI Generated

The water is a mild 36.3°C, so a long, relaxing soak of 15-20 minutes is recommended. To maximize the skin-smoothing benefits of its high alkalinity, avoid rinsing off with fresh water after your bath and gently pat your skin dry with a towel.

EFFECT STORY
AI Generated

Characterized by its high alkalinity of pH 9.0, this hot spring is traditionally associated with creating silky skin by gently dissolving old keratin. The mild 36.3°C water is gentle on the heart and promotes parasympathetic nerve activity. It may support those with autonomic imbalances, insomnia, or stress-related symptoms, offering a path to deep relaxation.
