Natural Hot Spring
A natural hot spring gushing from 1,500 meters underground. The sodium-chloride bicarbonate spring has a soft texture, known as a 'beauty-enhancing bath' that smoothens the skin. It contains both chloride and bicarbonate, providing high heat retention and preventing the body from cooling down quickly. After enjoying a hot and cold alternating bath with the sauna and cold plunge bath, soaking slowly in this natural hot spring melts away fatigue from the core. It is also expected to be effective for neuralgia, muscle pain, joint pain, sensitivity to cold, and recovery from fatigue.
