Bath
TypeNatural Hot Spring
The hot spring that wells up in Imabari is a calcium-sodium chloride spring. Its highly saline, hypertonic nature helps mineral components penetrate the body and leaves salt on the skin that reduces sweat evaporation, producing a strong heat-retention effect. Known as a 'hot spring of heat,' this chloride spring helps prevent chill after bathing and may be effective for improving sensitivity to cold. The spring water is used in multiple baths, including the Bihada no Yu rock bath (semi-open-air) and as the base water for the high-concentration carbonated bath. Its mildly alkaline quality leaves skin feeling smooth after bathing.
