Villa Reine
Analysis VerifiedThe Villa Reine source is a private hot spring drilled for the "Villa Reine" accommodation, located in the Kamegawa Onsen area, one of the eight famous springs of Beppu. This region has long been known as a therapeutic spa area with a charming, tranquil seaside atmosphere. With a weakly alkaline pH of 7.7, this gentle spring is ideal for long, relaxing soaks. Its abundant metasilicic acid helps to moisturize the skin, leaving it feeling silky smooth after bathing. It is the perfect spring for those wishing to deeply heal mind and body away from the hustle and bustle of 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.
At 46.3°C, the water is quite hot, so acclimate your body with "kakeyu" (warming water) before entering. The gentle, weakly alkaline pH of 7.7 makes it ideal for a long, relaxing soak. Rich in metasilicic acid, it's best not to rinse off completely to let the beneficial components nourish your skin.
The weakly alkaline water with a pH of 7.7 gently exfoliates the skin. Containing a high 221 mg/kg of metasilicic acid, a natural moisturizer, it promotes "silky skin". The restorative warmth from its 46.3°C temperature boosts circulation, supporting "rejuvenation" and easing daily fatigue. Consider it a form of balneotherapy for refreshing both mind and body.
The water temperature is high at 46.3°C. To avoid overheating, limit long soaks and be mindful of dizziness. Remember to stay hydrated before and after your bath.
