Warmth of the Valley Spring

Onsenmura No. 114, a chloride spring drawn from approximately 100 meters underground at Miyanoshita Onsen—one of Hakone's renowned Seven Hot Springs—carries a rich history. This area flourished as a therapeutic hot spring resort since the Edo period, evolving into an international destination during the Meiji era. The spring's unique feature is its gentle embrace, forming a 'salt veil' on the skin that slowly warms the body from its core. The restorative warmth lingers long after your bath, promoting deep relaxation for both mind and body. It is highly recommended for those seeking to soothe daily fatigue while immersing themselves in history.

BATHING TIPS
AI Generated

Known as "warming springs," sodium chloride springs offer excellent heat retention. After bathing, salt on the skin prevents sweat from evaporating, helping you stay warm longer. Avoid prolonged soaking; instead, try "split bathing" by alternating between soaking and resting.

EFFECT STORY
AI Generated

With 510 mg/kg of chloride ions creating a warming veil on the skin, this spring offers lasting restorative warmth. The synergy of its pH 8.1 alkalinity and 107 mg/kg of metasilicic acid also promotes silky skin. It is perfect for deep relaxation and rejuvenation, soothing away daily fatigue.

CAUTIONS
AI Generated

While beneficial for cuts and dry skin, bathing should be avoided by those with general contraindications such as active tuberculosis or severe heart conditions. Please be mindful of bathing methods and duration.
