MISORA YUFUIN
Analysis VerifiedThe MISORA YUFUIN source emerges in Yufuin, a hot spring village at the foot of Mt. Yufu. As a gentle alkaline simple spring with low irritation, it is suitable for everyone, from babies to the elderly. Steeping in these waters feels like being enveloped in a rich lotion, its thick texture deeply moisturizing dry skin. In this land surrounded by abundant nature, you can forget the hustle and bustle of daily life and enjoy a tranquil time to release your mind and body.
The bar length shows how abundant each component is compared to thresholds that make it "distinctive" (therapeutic spring standards, beauty spring criteria, etc.).
A natural moisturizer also used in skincare lotions. Forms a thin veil on the skin to reduce moisture loss after bathing.
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 water with a pH of 8.5 is expected to soften the skin's outer layer. A bathing time of 10-15 minutes is recommended; avoid prolonged soaking. As the skin can lose moisture after bathing, apply body lotion immediately to maintain its smoothness.
With a pH of 8.5 and a high content of 130.0 mg/kg of metasilicic acid, a "silky skin" component, this spring is ideal for skin beautification. It may gently remove dead skin cells, leaving your skin moist and smooth. Its low-irritation quality is perfect for days when you seek deep relaxation. Experience a form of balneotherapy that helps restore your skin's natural glow.
Although the spring is gentle, long baths may cause skin dryness. Ensure you hydrate and moisturize well after bathing. If you have health concerns, consult a doctor before bathing.
