Riverside Source

This source, naturally gushing 200 liters per minute from the Toyohira River riverbed in Jozankei Onsen town, began supplying surrounding hot spring facilities in 1997, named after its founder, Jozan Miizumi. Its colorless, clear waters, with a faint hint of sulfur, are characterized by a gentle salt veil that envelops the skin. The heat slowly penetrates to the body's core, providing restorative warmth that lingers long after bathing. It is a renowned spring offering deep relaxation for those seeking to escape daily hustle and warm their mind and body.

BATHING TIPS
AI Generated

Since this source runs quite hot, gently rinse your hands and feet with the waters before entering to acclimate your body gradually. The salt content prevents sweat evaporation, warming you thoroughly—though it also risks thermal fatigue, so limit soak duration, stay hydrated, and pace yourself thoughtfully.

EFFECT STORY
AI Generated

This neutral-pH spring (6.85) is remarkably mineral-rich, containing 1,568 mg of chloride ions per kilogram. A fine saline veil envelops your skin, trapping warmth even after you emerge—ideal for those battling chilled extremities and poor peripheral circulation. The waters gently nourish parched skin while soothing away daily fatigue and stress.

CAUTIONS
