鶴巻温泉 (秦野 第12号)
The Calcium-Rich Blessing of Tanzawa

Tsurumaki Onsen's non-volcanic waters, first utilized for bathing in 1889 after well water proved undrinkable, emerge from deep within the Tanzawa Mountains. This spring is a national rarity, exceptionally rich in calcium, gently enveloping the skin. Its restorative warmth penetrates the body's core, fostering deep relaxation and a lasting gentle glow post-bath. Following its history as 'Tokyo's inner parlor,' bustling with therapeutic bathers after the Odakyu Line opened in the early Showa era, it remains ideal for tranquil self-care away from urban clamor.

BATHING TIPS

This weakly alkaline chloride spring helps prevent post-bath chills as salt adheres to the skin, retaining warmth. For lasting moisture, avoid rinsing off after your bath. Refrain from prolonged soaking and remember to stay hydrated.

EFFECT STORY
AI Generated

With a pH of 7.7, this spring contains 160.5 mg/kg of calcium ions and 539.0 mg/kg of chloride ions. A "salt veil" envelops the body, preventing chills, making it ideal for those with poor circulation. It's also beneficial for cuts and dry skin, offering relief on days your skin needs extra care.

CAUTIONS
