Oyado Yuraku Gensen
Analysis VerifiedThe Oyado Yuraku Gensen is a private source bubbling up in the central area of Yufuin Onsen, a town known for its idyllic rural landscapes at the foot of Mt. Yufu. Many of Yufuin's springs, a long-cherished health resort area, are classified as simple hot springs gentle on the skin. This source is one of them, characterized by its mild and soft touch. Immersing yourself in its waters feels like being embraced by the serene nature of Yufuin, offering a peaceful respite for resetting mind and body away from daily life.
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.
With a slightly high temperature of 49.4°C, avoid long soaks and try "split bathing"—taking breaks when you start to sweat. As a mild, slightly alkaline spring, it's best not to rinse off afterward. Allowing the minerals to remain on your skin will enhance their beneficial effects.
With a pH of 8.3, this slightly alkaline water gently removes old skin cells, which may lead to silky skin. Furthermore, it is rich in metasilicic acid (226.0 mg/kg), a moisturizing component that leaves the skin feeling hydrated. This mild simple spring offers a form of balneotherapy perfect for deep relaxation, ideal for those seeking to relieve daily fatigue.
While the spring quality is mild and gentle, the temperature is somewhat high. Adjust your bathing time according to your condition and be careful not to overheat. Remember to stay hydrated before and after your bath.
