Hot Spring Information
Motoike Source & Kannonjima Source (Mixed Spring)
A bicarbonate spring mixed at a ratio of 3:7 from the Motoike Source and Kannonjima Source. It is colorless, transparent, tasteless, and odorless, with a smooth texture gentle on the skin. Bicarbonate springs are also known as "beauty baths," softening and washing away skin keratin, leaving the skin smooth after bathing. It has high heat retention, keeping the body warm and cozy even after bathing. It is expected to be effective for chronic muscle and joint pain, cold sensitivity, decreased gastrointestinal function, and fatigue recovery. Enjoy the fresh spring water flowing directly from the source in the open-air bath "TENKUH" or the panoramic large bath "Kogane," spending a blissful moment with the stunning view of the Ariake Sea.
