Niseko Cho Gensen
Analysis VerifiedPump-lifted at 200 liters per minute from the base of the renowned Niseko Annupuri International Ski Resort, the Niseko Cho Gensen is a vital source developed by the Hokkaido Chuo Bus Group. It distributes its pristine, colorless waters primarily to local facilities like "Ikoi no Yuyado Iroha." Surrounded by lush natural forests, this source continuously soothes skiers and sightseers, offering a comforting embrace after a long day of outdoor activities in the snow.
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.
Transdermal absorption gently supports skin hydration and muscle relaxation.
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.
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.
With a high source temperature of 58.9°C, the water is adjusted for comfortable bathing depending on the facility. To fully enjoy the smooth texture of this bicarbonate spring, gently soak without over-scrubbing, and apply moisturizer promptly after your bath.
Featuring a neutral pH of 7.2 and 248.7 mg/kg of skin-smoothing metasilicic acid, this spring acts as a natural beauty serum. The added sulfate and chloride components lock in heat, making it perfect for warming a chilled body after winter sports or relieving chronic joint pain and poor circulation.
Avoid bathing if you have acute illnesses, active tuberculosis, or severe heart conditions. When drinking, limit intake to 100-200ml per serving and avoid consumption between dinner and bedtime.
