(Kashō) Yurimachi Sodegaura Ekimae Mall Onsen
Analysis UnverifiedAwakened from deep beneath the earth on the shores of Tokyo Bay in Sodegaura, this onsen originates from ancient seawater. Its deep yellowish-brown color is a testament to the rich minerals nurtured by the land. The thermal effect of the hypertonic chloride spring envelops the body in a warmth that lingers long after bathing, gently melting away daily fatigue. This is a gift from the earth, perfect for those seeking deep tranquility and a day of complete mental and physical refreshment.
The bar length shows how abundant each component is compared to thresholds that make it "distinctive" (therapeutic spring standards, beauty spring criteria, etc.).
Above 10 mg classifies the spring as an "iodine spring" — a rare type that delivers antibacterial and anti-inflammatory action through the skin.
A "beauty spring" that gently emulsifies dead skin cells, leaving skin smooth after bathing.
Salinity comparable to seawater. The salt film traps heat for outstanding warmth ("hot bath spring").
Salt forms a thin film on the skin, retaining heat after bathing. Helps with poor circulation.
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.
This hypertonic spring's components are easily absorbed, so avoid long soaks. We recommend 'split bathing'—repeating 10-minute soaks with breaks in between. A light rinse with a shower after your bath can help prevent feeling overwhelmed by the heat and minerals.
This hypertonic water, containing a remarkable 5,111 mg/kg of chloride ions, warms you to the core and provides exceptional restorative warmth. This superior heat retention is traditionally associated with easing muscle and joint tension, which may help relieve pain. Additionally, the abundant iodide ions (17.4 mg/kg) are known for their role in balancing the body's condition, guiding you toward deep relaxation.
Due to its high salt concentration and potent nature, those with sensitive skin or the elderly should avoid prolonged bathing and rinse with fresh water afterward.
