A natural hot spring that wells up from 800 m underground. Chloride springs have salt components that bind with the skin to form a film that helps retain heat, making them hard to cool down and often called warming baths. There is a rich variety of open-air baths including open-air rock baths, pot baths, and hidden baths. The waters are also known as therapeutic springs for joint pain, sensitivity to cold, recovery from fatigue, and chronic skin diseases.
