Blessings of the Earth, a Blended Hot Spring

Gushing forth naturally amidst the lush nature of Noboribetsu, Source No. 19 shares its history with the region's volcanic activity. It uniquely combines the properties of a chloride and a bicarbonate spring, offering a complex character as if concentrating the earth's nutrients. As you soak, a veil of salt gently envelops your body, retaining warmth long after you leave the bath. Simultaneously, it helps to soften the skin, leaving it feeling smooth. This onsen is for the discerning individual seeking to heal daily fatigue and restore mind-body balance.

BATHING TIPS
AI Generated

As the spring is hot at 56.4°C, acclimate your body by splashing your limbs with the water before entering. To maximize the warming effect of the chloride and the cleansing effect of the bicarbonate, it's best not to rinse off after bathing; simply pat your skin dry with a towel.

EFFECT STORY
AI Generated

The abundant chloride ions (712.6 mg/kg) form a thin veil on the skin, which is traditionally associated with restorative warmth that prevents post-bath chills. Additionally, the bicarbonate ions (383.3 mg/kg) help to soften the skin, promoting a silky skin feel. This spring is recommended for those concerned with poor circulation or dry skin, and for anyone seeking deep relaxation from daily fatigue.

CAUTIONS
