Alkaline Hot Spring Leading to Beautiful Skin

This relatively new source, accidentally discovered in Isawa Onsen's vineyards in Showa 36 (1961), offers highly alkaline waters exceeding pH9. Its unique, serum-like texture gently envelops the skin, naturally aiding in the removal of old keratin and promoting silky skin. The warmth, slowly permeating to the body's core, is expected to melt away daily fatigue and bring about deep relaxation.
